Auction History Result 3j1024 LADIES THEY TALK ABOUT linen 1sh 1933 incredible Vargas art of sexiest Barbara Stanwyck, rare! Date Sold 12/20/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Ladies They Talk About, the 1933 Howard Bretherton & William Keighley women-in-prison crime melodrama ("Don't do what Barbara Stanwyck does in Ladies They Talk About"; based on the play by Dorothy Mackaye & Carlton Miles; set in San Quentin State Penitentiary; about a woman who gets involved with some crooks planning a robbery, and she is caught during the robbery, and there is not much evidence against her, but she confesses and is sent to a state prison, where she is incarcerated with tough black and white female inmates!) starring Barbara Stanwyck, Preston Foster, Lyle Talbot, Dorothy Burgess, Lillian Roth, and Maude Eburne. Note that there were many surprising elements to this pre-Code women-in-prison movie, including having black female inmates with speaking roles and a lesbian scene, something that was never done in movies from the major Hollywood studios at this time. This was one of those movies that helped bring about the Production Code, and, of course, the wonderful art a barely clad Barbara Stanwyck on the one-sheet, by famed pinup artist Alberto Vargas, certainly greatly helped "sell" the movie!

Artist: Alberto Vargas Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this one-sheet (with great unsigned Alberto Vargas art), and that was 19 years ago! The poster almost never is offered for sale, either privately or at auction! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tears and areas of paper loss in all the blank borders, with larger paper loss in the bottom left corner that affected much of the small text and the tip of Stanwyck's shoe. It had paper loss in the bottom right corner that affected all the small text and a very little bit of the bottom of the letters of "KEIGHLEY". There was paper loss in the top right corner that affected the "RE" of "PICTURE". The title and image were in generally really nice condition. It is really difficult to grade a poster like this, where it has significant defects but is otherwise in nice condition. Plus, it was restored by one of the most talented restorers, who recreated the missing areas superbly, and I would think most collectors would never realize that it had the restoration it has had, even if they were looking closely at it, and it will display wonderfully on the new owner's wall, but bear in mind the above before bidding on this ultra rare and desirable poster.
