Auction History Result 3a273 GIRL ON THE BRIDGE linen 1sh '51 bad girl Beverly Michaels is man-bait... and murder! Date Sold 12/11/2016 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) The Girl on the Bridge, the 1951 Hugo Haas bad girl crime film noir ("That 'Pickup' Girl is Back..!"; "Picking up where she left off!"; "More tempting, more tantalizing, more taunting than ever!"; "Put together by the devil to drive men wild!"; "She's man-bait and murder!") starring Hugo Haas, Beverly Michaels, Robert Dane, Anthony Jochim, and John Close. Note that star/director Hugo Haas was a native of Czechoslovakia, and in 1937, he wrote the screenplay for a movie, "Skeleton on Horseback", based on a play by Karel Capek (best remembered as the author of "R.U.R.", the first literary mention of robots), and that movie was obviously intended as an allegory against Hitler and fascism. When Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia right after the movie was made, Haas fled to the United States, but he never achieved major prominence in movies, although he is well remembered for directing a series of movies about an old man in love with a young beautiful woman (starring Haas himself, with a series of "bad girls", including Cleo Moore)!

The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and minor wear on the folds. It had pinholes in the corners. It had an NSS stamp on the back of the top of the poster that bled through to the front. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well, but the restorer left alone the bleed-through from the NSS stamp at the top of the poster (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
