Auction History Result 5z165 HITCHHIKE TO HELL linen 1sh R50s a Honky Tonk Girl condemned to life's oldest profession! Date Sold 7/14/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1950s) Re-release (re-titled "Honky Tonk Girl" for this re-release) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Hitchhike to Hell, the 1941 Pat Carlyle sexploitation hitchhiking prostitution melodrama (about a rural area where a fast talking man plans to take over a cafe from an old man, and turn it into a brothel, with the old man's daughter as the lead prostitute) starring Charles Maurice, Don Hirsh, Diane Winthrop, Julian Harris, Margaret Weiner, Mary Chouning, Gordon Hayes, and Kay Young. Note that sexploitation movies like these were extremely popular in "late night" showings at small town theaters throughout the 1940s and 1950s, and they were often re-issued and re-named multiple times. In the case of this movie, it was re-issued under titles such as "Honky Tonk Girl", "Going My Way, Mister?", "Highway Hell", and "Highway Girls", each time with lurid images and taglines! Of course, there is no way to guarantee that this movie originally was called "Hitchhike to Hell", because many of those kinds of movies were re-titled with titles from other movies! If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. The poster had small paper loss at the top crossfold and some creases, tears, and tiny paper loss on parts of some foldlines. There were creases and tears in the borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was not very well backed with no excess linen, and it was roughly handled after backing, resulting in added creases and tears, and lifting of the poster around the edges and in a couple of places in the image. If I owned this really cool poster, I would surely have it re-backed (there really is not very much in the image that needs to be restored), and after proper restoration, it will look great!
