Screen siren Raquel Welch sizzles in "mankind's first bikini' on this striking Australian Daybill poster for Hammer Films unforgettable prehistoric fantasy adventure One Million Years B.C. The quintessential image of a fur-clad Welch formed the centrepiece of Hammer's marketing campaign, becoming a best-selling pinup poster and, years later, famously featuring as part of the prison escape plot in the 1994 drama The Shawshank Redemption. Set in a fictional age of co-existing cavemen and dinosaurs, the fearsome creatures were painstakingly animated by stop-motion master Ray Harryhausen, years before the advent of CGI special effects.
