Auction History Result 2j158 GHOST SHIP insert 1943 Captain Richard Dix behind ship's wheel, incredibly sexy artwork! Date Sold 11/28/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) The Ghost Ship, the 1943 Mark Robson high seas murder mystery horror thriller ("Story by Leo Mittler"; produced by Val Lewton) starring Richard Dix, Russell Wade, Edith Barrett, Ben Bard, Edmund Glover, Skelton Knaggs (who played a mute but his character narrates the film with an internal voice-over monologue), Lawrence Tierney (uncredited in his third movie role!), and Dewey Robinson. Note that shortly after its theatrical release, producer Val Lewton was sued for plagiarism by a man who said he had sent a script with the same plot to Lewton. Lewton could have settled out of court, but he claimed he never even opened the script, and he decided to fight the case. That proved to be a massive error, because the court ruled against Lewton and The Ghost Ship was withdrawn from circulation, and was unavailable for viewing for the next 50 years, and when it was finally made available, it was ruled to be public domain, so Lewton never received any financial reward from it.

Important Added Info: Note that the poster censor was asleep at the switch when he reviewed this poster, because he the poster artist made the dress of the girl at lower left completely transparent, leaving nothing to the imagination! You almost never see a poster from a major studio where this occurred, especially in the 1940s!

The poster has some small tears and pieces of tape scattered in parts of the borders with some smudges, creases and tiny stains around the edges and some scuffs and smudges scattered in the image with tiny surface paper loss in the left half of the top fold.
