Merle Connell white slavery prostitution sexploitation melodrama ("Exposing"; "Shocking drama of wayward girls"; "A true story that shocked and rocked the nation"; "All new! Wide screen"; "Models wanted! No experience necessary"; "Beautiful Hollywood models lured into scarlet Vice by vicious gang lords"; "Girls! Bought, sold and traded"; "Innocent girls swept into a mad whirlpool of distruction [sic]"; about a young woman who goes from her small town to visit her "successful" older sister in Hollywood, California, but when she gets there, she discovers that her sister is a high priced prostitute, and two days later, she herself is also working there; she wants to leave, but the mobsters who run the place have other ideas) starring Joy Reynolds, Geri Moffatt, Marko Perri, Guy Manford, and Lisa Rack. Note that this movie had an odd release history, opening in Austin, Texas in January 1956, and then in New York City in May 1956. It was released by both Sonney Amusement and Joseph Brenner, and it had two release names, which may have been because it had two different distributors. Movie paper with the title "The Flesh Merchant" is far more rare than that with the title " The Wild and Wicked". We have auctioned a single pressbook with that title, but we have never auctioned a one-sheet (although the pressbook does show an image of that one-sheet). If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this one-sheet measures 28" x 42" [71 x 107 cm]. Note that in recent months we auctioned a collection of sexploitation one-sheets that included many rare titles from a single collector, and last month we auctioned the last of that collection. NOW, we have been consigned a different collection which includes even more very rarely seen titles! In this set of auctions we auctioned the first group of one-sheet from this new collection, and there are 148 different ones(all are in separate auctions), and they include a number of posters that we have only auctioned once or twice before. There are also a number with great images or taglines. This is an excellent opportunity to add one or more of these rare one-sheets to your collection, and, like the previous collection we auctioned, this consignor also only had one of each title, so on the rare ones, it may be quite some time before we offer the same title again! Condition: good to very good. There is some slight discoloration along the back of the center horizontal fold that darkens the front along that fold (see our image). It has minor fold and border wear. After linenbacking it should display well. Learn More about condition grades
