Auction History Result 2z291 DEEP THROAT 25x38 1sh '72 how far does Linda Lovelace have to go to untangle her tingle! Date Sold 12/8/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 25 1/4" x 38" [64 x 97 cm]) (Learn More) Gerard Damiano's Deep Throat, the classic 1972 Gerard Damiano sexploitation movie ("How far does a girl have to go to untangle her tingle?") starring Linda Lovelace, Harry Reems, Dolly Sharp, Bill Harrison, William Love, and Carol Connors. Of course, this was the first x-rated hardcore movie that "crossed over" and was seen by general audiences, and it opened the floodgates for many, many more such movies, and it definitely has a significant place in movie history. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that there are three different styles of one-sheet we have seen for this movie, two with a photographic image and one with an artwork image (which has a "1973" after the artist's signature). Given that the movie was shown in a huge number of places over the couple of years after its initial release, it seems likely that many of the posters would have been printed after the very first release of the movie. The poster offered here (which is one of the two photographic styles, and which measures 25 1/4" x 38") is identical to that shown in the pressbook for the movie, but we do not know if there is any way to determine whether it was created in 1972, or 1973, or possibly even a short time later. Note that the other photographic style one-sheet measures 28" x 40 1/2", but this auction is for the one that measures 25 1/4" x 38". Note that all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson. Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked). This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "Exploitation". Condition: good to very good. The poster was folded in half an extra time resulting in a light vertical foldline at left and right and there is some wear along those creases and newly created crossfolds. It is otherwise in pretty good condition and if after a simple linenbacking the poster will look great! Learn More about condition grades
