Miss Sadie Thompson, the 1953 Curtis Bernhardt 3-D (3D; 3-Dimension) South-Seas romantic prostitute-and-preacher musical ("Rita turns it on!!!"; "Rita turns it loose!!!"; "It's Rita Hayworth and men! Men! Men! In 3-D"; "It's Rita on the prowl!"; "Rita in 3D!"; "Songs your mother never taught you!"; "The Heat Is On - On The Way!"; "The Sin-Chaser - The Dame Chaser!"; "Entertainment Is Her Business!"; "Spontaneous Combustion!"; "She's the gal with a little something extra for the boys!"; "Based on a story by W. Somerset Maugham") starring Rita Hayworth (in the title role as Sadie Thompson), Jose Ferrer, Aldo Ray, Russell Collins, Diosa Costello, Charles Bronson (in his second credited movie role!), and Henry Slate. Note that there was an silent version of this movie in 1928 under the title "Sadie Thompson", starring Gloria Swanson and Lionel Barrymore, and a sound version of this movie, under the title "Rain" in 1932, starring Joan Crawford, and Walter Huston! Also note that this movie was filmed in Hawaii on Kauhi Hanelei Pier, Lamahai Beach, Coco Palms, Kalapaks, and the former Charles Rice home.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this six-sheet was printed in 4 sections designed to overlap. Note that this movie was one of the last 3-D movies. It was first released in 1953 in its 3-D release, and after the 3-D craze was over, the movie was released December 25, 1953 in a "2-D" version, with no mention of 3-D. Oddly, the NSS number for this 2-D release is "54/11" which would seem to indicate it was released in 1954, but apparently the NSS began using numbers for the upcoming year before it was actually that year. Please bid knowing this poster is from the 1953 2-D release and has an NSS number of "54/11"!

Condition: very good to fine. There is some darkening on the back of the part of the poster that was on the outside when it was fully folded. There are some creases and several tears along the foldlines that were on the outside when the poster was fully folded. There are some creases, smudges, and tiny tears on some foldlines, and some tiny paper loss at some crossfolds.
