Auction History Result 2z290 DEEP THROAT 25x36 1sh '73 head & shoulders white style art of sexy nurse Linda Lovelace! Date Sold 12/8/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 25" x 36" [64 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Gerard Damiano's Deep Throat, the classic 1972 Gerard Damiano sexploitation movie ("How far does a girl have to go to untangle her tingle?") starring Linda Lovelace, Harry Reems, Dolly Sharp, Bill Harrison, William Love, and Carol Connors. Of course, this was the first x-rated hardcore movie that "crossed over" and was seen by general audiences, and it opened the floodgates for many, many more such movies, and it definitely has a significant place in movie history. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Chin Chi Important Added Info: Note that there are three different styles of one-sheet we have seen for this movie, two with a photographic image and one with an artwork image. Given that the movie was shown in a huge number of places over the couple of years after its initial release, it seems likely that many of the posters would have been printed after the very first release of the movie. There are two photographic posters, both with a yellow background, and both of those are identical to that shown in the pressbook for the movie, but we don't know which size was created first, or if they were created at the same time. The other style is THIS poster, with an artwork image which is not shown in the pressbook we have seen, and it measures 25" x 36". We don't know if this poster was used at the same time as the photographic posters (the art on this poster is dated 1973, but the film was not released in many places until 1973), and it certainly seems quite reasonable that it might have been used for the international release of this movie (it played all over the world in 1973). We are listing it as 1973, but not as a re-release, because the movie was certainly in continuous release during that time, and there is no saying that the photographic poster itself is not from 1973. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson. 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! As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked). This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "Exploitation". Condition: good to very good. There is slight discoloration on back of the upper right of the poster due to exposure to moisture, but it does not have much effect on the front. There are a few pieces of clear tape on some edges (not put there for any restoration purpose). There is paper loss in the lower right blank border and there are some light creases scattered in various areas. It is otherwise in pretty good condition and if after a relatively simple linenbacking the poster will look great! Learn More about condition grades
