An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41 3/4") (Learn More) Female Trouble, the 1975 John Waters horrible-crime tasteless comedy ("Divine and the whole 'Pink Flamingos' gang in John Waters' Female Trouble"; "She has a lot of problems"; "About this X: Preview audiences have indicated that 'Female Trouble' includes scenes of extraordinary perversity. The distributor therefore wishes to caution the potential viewer that 'Female Trouble' may be seen as sexually and morally offensive.") starring Divine, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Mink Stole, Edith Massey (billed "and as Ida"), and Cookie Mueller. Note that this film had a premiere in Baltimore in late 1974 but did not have a wider theatrical release until 1975 when it began playing in major metropolitan areas. As is common with low-budget "exploitation" films, it stayed in continuous first release into 1976. 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 poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Condition: good. The poster had a 1" x 8" area of surface paper loss beginning in the center of Divine's hair and extending up through the background area and into the tagline area above Divine's head. There was an extra vertical foldline 1/2" to the right of the regular vertical foldline and there were some creases and tiny tears on parts of all foldlines. There were pinholes in the corners and some minor border wear. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was well backed, but the restorer simply tried to draw in the missing hair area and the missing letters of the tagline without making a large effort to have it not show, and so the restoration of that area is clearly visible. Please do not bid on this poster unless you have read the above and can accept this restoration, or are willing to pay to have the poster further restored. Learn More about condition grades
