Auction History Result 4c0147 KILLER'S KISS linen Belgian 1956 early Kubrick noir set in New York Clip Joint Jungle, Wik art! Date Sold 4/30/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1956 (from the first release of this movie in Belgium) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Belgian Movie Poster (measures 14 1/2" x 19 3/4" [37 x 50 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!

It played in Belgium the following year, and we don't know how it was received there. Of course, it was Stanley Kubrick's next movie, "The Killing", that launched his career as a legendary director! Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 14 1/2" x 19 3/4" [37 x 50 cm]. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this is commonly done with Belgian posters, similar to how the blank top is trimmed off of U.S. window cards). The poster also had two horizontal folds near the middle of the poster, with very minor wear on those folds. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
