Date Sold 8/1/2023Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Josette of New Orleans, the 1958 Joseph Lee Miami Florida crime murder thriller sexploitation melodrama ("Sultry! Sexy! Sensational!") starring Lili St. Cyr (in the title role as Josette), John Loder, Richard Benedict, Barry Douglas, Lawrence Kerr, Kate Murtagh, Rosemary Pettit, and Guy Rennie. Note that this movie was filmed in Miami, Florida in 1953, and apparently, Republic Pictures was considering releasing it! But it could not pass the censors (because of "unacceptable costume and dance motion"), and Republic tried for a while to get it re-shot or re-cut so that it could pass, but they eventually gave up in 1955. In 1956, an executive from Columbia Pictures showed interest in it, but again, it was rejected. Finally, it was released in 1958 by an independent company. Note that in the movie, Lili St. Cyr plays a girl named Josette who moves from New Orleans to Miami, where she gets involved with gangsters. One of them gets her a career as a dancer, who is renamed Lili St. Cyr! 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 this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned this particular one with this design in all our years of auctioning! Condition: fair to good. The poster has smudges, creases, defects, areas of paper loss and tears of varying lengths along parts of some edges (see our image). There is significant separation in the right edges of the lower two horizontal folds and at the left edge of the center horizontal fold and those areas (as well as some edge tears) are backed with thick brown paper tape. After proper restoration the very rare poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
