Terence Fisher's "The Gorgon" was a notable departure from the Studio's conventional narrative style. Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee received joint top billing in what proved to be their final Hammer film together and were ably supported by Barbara Shelley, the actress who would become the company's most prolific leading lady. Sadly unattributed, this country of origin British Quad features a striking design, including an incredible illustration of the titular 'Gorgon' against a bright pink background and an almost luminous green title design. Presented unrestored, in very good folded (as issued) condition, this standalone version is not often seen offered for sale.
