An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Allen Stuart's The Unashamed, the 1938 Allen Stuart romantic love triangle nudist melodrama ("Tender love and inspiring sacrifice in a modern Eden"; "Actually filmed in a nudist camp"; "It's Intimate! Tempting! Revealing!"; "A Romance in the Nude!"; about an overworked man whose secretary tells him she is secretly a nudist, and he accompanies her to a resort, where she hopes to win him romantically, but he falls for another woman there, and she commits suicide; this was a pretty standard melodrama, but obviously, the nudist element was introduced to present an excuse to show lots and lots of naked people, but their genitalia was never on view!) starring Rae Kidd, Robert Stanley, Lucille Shearer, Emily Todd, Ross Lynn, and Frances Grey. Note that there was a "nudism" craze in the United States in the mid-1930s, and quite a few "normal" people entered into this movement, and it peaked in the late 1930s, and wily filmmakers made some movies like this to capitalize on the public interest (which included a high percentage of adult males, who went to the movie to see the naked people)! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. It appears the poster was never machine folded. There were some creases and scuffs scattered in the poster, with some smudges in the solid colored areas. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that the restorer left a tiny bit of excess linen around all four sides of the poster (they left a small border in order to protect the poster from handling damage, but they did not leave a larger border, to allow it to more easily fit in a frame).
