Spanish title: El Hijo de Simbad
Stars: Dale Robertson, Sally Forrest, Lili StCir, Vincent Price, Mari Blanchard
Directed by: Ted Tetzlaff
Distributor: Continental Films

Also known as Nights in a Harem, this Howard Hughes-produced ogle-fest is notable for two things: 1) It stars Vincent Price (who is totally slumming it), and 2) it features more scantily-clad women than you could poke a camel at, including noted striptease artist, Lili StCir.

That’d be StCir in the still image on this lobby card, taking it easy on a floor cushion as Vincent Price empties a sheep bladder or something.

But what I love about this card is how its completely unashamed of the fact that the film is only about half naked women; counting the still, there’s ten different shots of women wearing next to nothing, all of them painted for maximum attention from film-goers.

This actual lobby card isn’t in the greatest shape, with tears on the bottom left corner, another on the bottom middle, and yet another on the top left corner. Numerous pin-holes don’t help matters, and there’s a water smudge down the bottom left hand corner, but you expect those after sixty years in an attic.

There was a Hindi film with the same title as this one released three years later, but you’ll struggle to find a post for that one.

For pure camp value, this is one heck of a lobby card, and that’s why it stays in the collection.
