Prehistoric Women
They might contain more smoke-and-mirrors special effects, but today’s theatrical trailers for movies don’t hold a candle to those from the 1950s and 1960s. Take this original trailer for Prehistoric Women, the 1967 action-adventure starring Martine Beswick as the comely, but cruel leader of a tribe of warrior women, living deep in the jungle — without men. Released by Britain’s Hammer Films as part of its unofficial “fur bikini” trilogy, the picture was a companion piece to One Million Years B.C. (1966) and When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth (1970).
