Date Sold 8/4/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 28" x 41" [71 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Merry Maids of the Gay Way, the 1954 James R. Connell burlesque sexploitation movie ("Big-Time Burlesque as you like it!"; "Stars and Strips Galore!"; "Delectable damsels in daring dances! New, different, tantalizing, teasing, daring, torrid") starring Zabuda ("Terrific Turkish Torso Twister"), Billy Reed ("And dozens of deluscious [sic] dancing dolls"), Cherri Lee (known as the "New Orleans Pepper Pot", she opens the movie by tap dancing, before she bumps & grinds), Doreen Cannon, and other burlesque dancers. Apparently this was either all shot at a single burlesque theater, or clips from several theaters. The company that has re-issued many movies such as this, Something Weird Video, has issued this on DVD, and they have identified all the performers of the movie on their website. Certainly, the poster makes this movie seem far better than it actually was, and it has many excellent taglines (but we don't know what "deluscious" means!). If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this one-sheet measures 28" x 41" [71 x 104 cm]. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had tears and tiny areas of paper loss scattered on the horizontal folds, and also around the edges of the poster. The entire poster had darkened somewhat. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
