An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Hit and Run, the 1957 Hugo Haas romantic love triangle bad girl crime film noir ("'I can't give you anything but love- and murder, baby!'"; "Two imperfect people plan the perfect crime... Can they get away with it?"; "Kiss-and-go girl..."; "hungry-for-love husband"; "Pay-up Sucker"; "Pick-up girl.."; "Hush-up lover.."; "it's got to explode into... Hit and Run"; "Blonde... Husband... Other man... Under the same roof - and someone's going to die for love!") starring Cleo Moore, Hugo Haas (who wrote, produced, directed, and starred in this film!), Vince Edwards, Dolores Reed, and Mara Lea. 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 restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
