The poster is for a 1950s Swedish re-release of the 1938 serial Flash Gordon Goes to Mars (1938).

You can find this Swedish poster and many, many others in my Flckr albums for the artists Gösta Åberg and Eric Rohman.

You can find a link to the albums in the signature area at the bottom of this post.

Thanks gunshotwound ... what a fantastic collection of highly creative artistic film posters, they seem to jump out at you, and no doubt would have enticed audiences with their imaginative designs

Many movie posters from movies both Swedish and from all over the world movies from the 1920s and 1930s, were usually done by renomated artists earning some extra bucks, for the Swedish markets. An original such Swedish poster of King King 1933, was sold at an auction for around 10.000 Euros.

If you like to collect copies or just look at old movie posters look up www.sfi.se/sv/svensk-filmdatabas look up and to the right there is an english version, they display many many posters of movies not just Swedish movies.
