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]. What IS linenbacking?
