Auction History Result 8t020 ANGELS OF DARKNESS 1/2sh '56 Linda Darnell, Anthony Quinn, Forbidden Women! Date Sold 3/6/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1956 Vintage Theatrical Folded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Donne Proibite (released in the U.S in 1956 as "Angels of Darkness" and as "Forbidden Women"), the 1954 Giuseppe Amato Italian prostitution melodrama ("Their trade was LOVE!"; "Daughters of the joy... Sisters in the sin!"; "Franca"; "Vally"; "Lola"; about a new law being passed in Rome closing brothels, and the movie follows the lives of several of the girls who worked there, and how they must try to find alternate ways of surviving) starring Linda Darnell, Anthony Quinn, Valentina Cortese, Lea Padovani, and Giulietta Masina. Note that Linda Darnell had been a major sexy star of the 1940s, but her career was slowing drastically by this time, and she accepted a relatively small role in this Italian movie (but for the American release, she was top billed!). After this movie, she made one more Italian movie and then a bunch of mostly TV appearances, after which she retired. Finally, note that U.S. posters were all originally printed with "Angels of Darkness" as the title, but some good number were overprinted with the alternate title of "Forbidden Women" (no doubt because that was more lurid). If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The title area and tagline area at upper right has been neatly overprinted with the "Forbidden Women" title and an alternate tagline and there is blank overprinting over the tagline at top. There is some separation at some of the ends of the foldlines and there is a small amount of tattering around the edges of the poster. This poster is NOT from the movie "Forbidden Women", which is an entirely different movie! Learn More about condition grades
