This is a 29" x 43" Argentine poster for the 1961 Umberto Scarpelli
film The Giant of Metropolis [Il gigante di Metropolis]
based on a story by Gino Stafford, screenplay by Sabatino Ciuffini,
Ambrogio Molteni, Oreste Palella, Emimmo Salvi and Umberto Scarpelli
and starring Gordon Mitchell as Obro. Plot summary: In 20000 BC the
people on the lost continent of Atlantis have developed an advanced
civilization and are ruling the earth. A powerful man named Obro is
sent by his father [Mani Meniconi] to the capital city Metropolis to
oppose its godlessness and hubris; the scientists in Metropolis are
trying to subvert the process of death but their evil efforts are only
causing destruction. They do not see that only love will be able to
prevail as the source of life, and so they use their scientific powers
to deprive all the people of Metropolis of their free will. When Obro
and his group enter the Valley of Metropolis King Yoh-tar [Rolando
Lupi] orders his henchmen to unleash the magnetic whirlwinds of death
against them. Only Obro survives the attack to be brought before King
Yoh-tar; the two immediately get into a hot verbal confrontation
vowing to destroy each other. Thus begins an epic tale about a
life-and-death struggle between the forces of good and evil portrayed
on a huge futuristic set that looks as if it was built for a Buck
Rogers film.
