An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Thirty by Forty Movie Poster (30x40; measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) The Bonnie Parker Story, the 1958 William Witney AIP biographical bad girl crime film noir thriller ("Cigar smoking hellcat of the roaring thirties!"; "Cannot be seen on TV"; "Filmed in Superama"; "Written & Produced by Stan Shpetner") starring Dorothy Provine (in the title role as Bonnie Parker), Jack Hogan, Richard Bakalyan, Joe Turkel, William Stevens, and Ken Lynch 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 we have only previously auctioned one example of this poster, and that was 16 years ago! Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this poster, and those were both 9 years ago! Note that this 30x40 is a silkscreen printed poster with an actual very large color photo which has neatly been "tipped in" (glued to the lower left corner of the poster). This is how almost all 30x40s were made at this time! Paper banners were also commonly made in this way at that time, and it makes for a striking poster, and few people would realize that it is not printed on a single piece, unless they examine the poster closely. Note that the silkscreen portions of this poster usually pick up scuff marks far more easily than other posters of this period (this was caused by the method of silkscreen printing, and is very common on these posters, and is not considered a major defect, unless it is very noticeable or distracting).

The poster had creases, smudges, and scuffs around the edges and in the solid blue area at top. This original 1958 poster was used for a re-release, and someone put light red pencil over the NSS number in the upper right border and hand wrote in a re-release NSS number (but it is an original poster from 1958). Overall, the poster was in good to very 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. Learn More about condition grades
