An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27 1/2" x 40 3/4" [70 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

Josette of New Orleans, the 1958 Joseph Lee Miami Florida crime murder thriller sexploitation melodrama ("Sultry! Sexy! Sensational!") starring Lili St. Cyr (in the title role as Josette), John Loder, Richard Benedict, Barry Douglas, Lawrence Kerr, Kate Murtagh, Rosemary Pettit, and Guy Rennie. Note that this movie was filmed in Miami, Florida in 1953, and apparently, Republic Pictures was considering releasing it! But it could not pass the censors (because of "unacceptable costume and dance motion"), and Republic tried for a while to get it re-shot or re-cut so that it could pass, but they eventually gave up in 1955. In 1956, an executive from Columbia Pictures showed interest in it, but again, it was rejected. Finally, it was released in 1958 by an independent company. Note that in the movie, Lili St. Cyr plays a girl named Josette who moves from New Orleans to Miami, where she gets involved with gangsters. One of them gets her a career as a dancer, who is renamed Lili St. Cyr!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and minor wear on the foldlines. It had some pinholes, tears, and tape stains around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
