Bertha was jes' a little bit free'er than most."; "Kissing and killing... One was her hobby the other more like a business..."; "Based on characters contained in 'Sisters of the Road' - the autobiography of Boxcar Bertha as told to Dr. Ben L. Reitman."; produced by Roger Corman) starring Barbara Hershey (in the title role as Boxcar Bertha), David Carradine, Barry Primus, Bernie Casey, and John Carradine. Note that during this movie, Barbara Hershey began a longtime affair with David Carradine. Both known as "free spirits", they never married, but she called herself "Barbara Seagull", and together they had a child who they named "Free" (he was called "Free Seagull" by some, but his birth certificate said "Free Carradine", and later he changed his name to "Tom Carradine"!).

Important Added Info: Note that this is one of 188 folded one-sheets in this Part IV of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction that were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson (we auctioned 993 of his folded one-sheets in Part I of this auction, and we auctioned his 113 unfolded one-sheets in Part III, and now we are auctioning his final 188 folded one-sheets in this Part IV). Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! After Part IV closes, we will have auctioned all of this collection. Condition: good to very good. There are some diagonal creases around the edges of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
