Underwater!

Dive into the glamour and adventure of 1950s Hollywood with this original release poster for Underwater! (1955), a spectacular production from Howard Hughes, directed by John Sturges (The Magnificent Seven). Iconic star Jane Russell plays a fearless diver in search of a sunken treasure deep in the Caribbean, in a thrilling tale of peril and exotic mystery.

A Landmark in Underwater Adventure Cinema
This was the first RKO film shot in Superscope, a then-revolutionary widescreen format. The movie also made headlines for its underwater world premiere, held eight meters below the surface in Florida’s Silver Springs. Underwater! remains a cult favorite among fans of mid-century escapist cinema.

Striking Vintage Artwork
This vividly illustrated poster features Jane Russell in a red swimsuit, ready to take on sharks and treasure hunters. With dynamic taglines like “Skin Diver Action… Aqua-lung Thrills!” and “Come on below... to that new, exciting underwater world!”, it captures the bold spirit of 1950s adventure films. The artwork is pure pulp-era brilliance.

A Rare and Coveted Collector’s Piece
This is a genuine and very rare 1955 U.S. 3-Sheet poster (approx. 41" × 81"), not a reproduction. A highly sought-after piece among collectors of classic Hollywood memorabilia, it offers both decorative impact and historical significance. A stunning addition to any vintage cinema, diving, or mid-century design collection.
