Note that director Irving Klaw was a legendary figure in Hollywood photography! He was born in New York City, and his family owned a business which is known today as Movie Star News. He started in 1939 with used books, and in the 1940s, he began selling movie star photos, which sold so well that he gave up selling books, and concentrated on the photos. In the late 1940s, he discovered that selling images of sexy women in erotic poses (especially "bound" fetish poses) outsold the Hollywood photos, and he wanted to specialize in them, but he could not find enough of them to satisfy his customers. So his sister and he began taking photos of burlesque dancers (and his most famous model was Bettie Page), and he also got involved in publishing illustrated bondage books and even produced some burlesque movies, and this one was his most famous. The Kefauver Hearings (like the ones that ended horror comics in the early 1950s) also did in Klaw's business. He continued his business in a much smaller fashion, and made a couple more movies, before he passed away in 1966 AND Passport to Shame (released in the U.S. in 1959 as "Room 43"), the 1958 Alvin Rakoff English bad girls crime thriller ("You've seen and thrilled to 'Daring...'

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never auctioned an example of this poster before! Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Note that in recent months we started auctioning a wonderful collection of sexploitation one-sheets that includes many extremely rare titles from a single collector, and that collection includes lots of folded one-sheets, but also rolled one-sheets, special posters, and some other posters as well. This month there are 65 different rolled posters (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 rolled posters to your collection, and this consignor 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. The poster has pinholes around the edges (some are torn or enlarged due to rough removal) and some other minor defects scattered in various areas. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
