Auction History Result 8d0008 KILLER'S KISS 40x60 1955 early Stanley Kubrick noir in New York's Clip Joint Jungle, rare! Date Sold 4/4/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Forty by Sixty Movie Poster (40x60; measures 40" x 60" [102 x 152 cm]) (Learn More) Killer's Kiss, the 1955 Stanley Kubrick New York City crime film noir gangster murder thriller ("Her Soft Mouth Was the Road to Sin-Smeared Violence!"; "Exposed! The Mobs, Molls, and Mayhem of New Yorks Clip-Joint Jungle!") starring Frank Silvera, Jamie Smith, Irene Kane, Ruth Sobotka (Kubrick's wife at the time), Jerry Jarret, and Mike Dana. Note that this movie is often mistakenly referred to as Kubrick's first, but actually, he had made four previous movies (three documentary short subjects, plus the 1953 feature, "Fear and Desire", which just about no one in the world seems to have ever seen or heard of)! Apparently, all of those movies and this one were financed by Kubrick's own family, and it was with his next movie, "The Killing", that he began making traditional Hollywood movies, with real movie stars in the lead roles!

The other size posters and lobby cards from this movie can be found (and we have auctioned each type a number of times), but we have never auctioned any poster larger than a one-sheet until we were consigned this 40x60, which is surely incredibly rare! Condition: good. The poster was never folded. It has many creases and scuffs scattered throughout, typical of 40x60s of this period. It was roughly handled and has two diagonal creases slightly below center, running through part of the title. It has an 8" tear in the center of the bottom border that had tape put on it, which stained that area. Obviously, this incredibly rare poster can be restored (or it certainly could be displayed as is), but bear in mind these defects (and look at our super-sized image) before bidding.
