"Between the legs shot" poster
« on: October 17, 2017, 03:43:01 AM »
Hi good people,


I have "Untamed" (1956) in my collection and I am wondering if it is the first poster to do the iconic "between the legs" composition, which is considered a classic composition since the back bikini of "For your eyes only".



So if you have any poster or see any having a "between the leg shot", do share...  if before 1956, the better :)

I found a link showing a few modern ones - https://imgur.com/18aYL

Thanks

My word, I had no idea there were so many examples of this shot.  Nor how early on it had been adopted.

I can't help with any other examples but, good topic.

Here's a classic example by Guy Gerard Noel for the French poster of The Killers (1964).

The movie is a German film, Unruhige Nacht the English title being The Restless Night (1958)

http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0052340

Here's the German film program and a French poster.

1958 !
Well done Jedgerley, the closest so far to the 1956 "Untamed" !!

Unbeaten, the poster for "Untamed" (1956) remains the first ever between-the-legs-shot poster unless...


(note I have done hotlinking for images but I can see it is possible to attach pics in APF, so I shall download image and repost previous posts with attachment)
