Auction History Result 6k309 COCAINE: THE THRILL THAT KILLS WC '51 strips the soul bare, but inflames the senses! Date Sold 3/11/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Una Lettera All'Alba (released in the U.S. in 1951 as "Cocaine: The Thrill That Kills"), the 1948 Giorgio Bianchi Italian sexploitation drug melodrama ("Strips the Soul Bare"; "Inflames the senses"; "Bold. Revealing. True"; "This picture is a lesson for every teen-ager - and a warning for every parent!"; "This picture is definitely not recommended for children"; "Timely as today's headlines"; "Adult Entertainment"; "This picture will shock you..."; "No crime too vicious... no manhunt more intense... in the battle against the dealers of death!") starring Fosco Giachetti, Jacques Sernas, Tatyana Pavlova, Lea Padovani, and Margherita Bagni. Note that around 1951, a very clever distributor came up with the idea of releasing this movie under the lurid title of "Cocaine" in France and "Cocaine: The Thrill That Kills!" in the U.S. and featured a large image of a syringe (presumably filled with cocaine!). There have been a number of window cards found from this U.S. release, and they have often been mistakenly been sold as possibly being from the 1930s, but they are from around 1951, and are from the above 1948 re-titled Italian movie. 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 the window card was folded down the center at one time. Because it would not fit in our standard sized package even if it were re-folded, we don't want to re-fold the window card prior to mailing, and we believe that re-folding the window card would lessen its condition (we never roll window cards into a tube). If you specifically request it, we will re-fold this window card, but you will not be able to return it. Condition: good to very good. The card was folded down the middle and there are creases and scuffs in that area. There is darkening and a couple of tears in the borders (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
