Auction History Result 4k262 SMASHING THE VICE TRUST 1sh '37 the story of New York's infamous Lucky Luciano, great art! Date Sold 12/10/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Tri-Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 28" x 42" [71 x 107 cm]) (Learn More) Smashing the Vice Trust, the 1937 Melville Shyer exploitation melodrama (apparently, a pseudo-documentary expose of the vice business, although it is likely the viewers of this movie had less than noble interests in watching it!) starring Willy Castello, Veola Vonn, Augusta Anderson, John Belmont, and Selmer Jackson. Note that this movie was re-edited by director Shyer into "Confessions of a Vice Baron" in 1943. Melville Shyer spent many years in Hollywood working as an assistant director for 143 mostly low-budget movies between 1930 and 1962, and in the 1930s and 1940s, he directed seven low-budget exploitation movies like this one. His son, Charles Shyer, has had major success as a Hollywood director, directing such movies as The Parent Trap, Father of the Bride, and Baby Boom! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster measures 28" x 42" [71 x 107 cm]. Also note that this poster was tri-folded only (which means there is no vertical machine fold) but because it would be more expensive to send flat, it will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. The poster has become brittle with age and it is completely separated into two sections along the top horizontal fold (now partly held together with two small pieces of tape from the back at upper left). There is some tattering and paper loss around the edges of the poster and there are minor creases and scuffs scattered throughout. The poster is otherwise in generally nice condition and its colors are still vibrant and after it is linenbacked it will look wonderful with very little paint restoration needed!
