An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 28" x 42" [71 x 107 cm]) (Learn More) Mudhoney (also released as "Rope of Flesh"), the 1965 Russ Meyer sexploitation movie ("...a film of ribaldry and violence made from the juice of life!"; "Passion debased by lust... Mudhoney ... Leaves a taste of evil!"; "featuring 'That Girl' from Lorna... Lorna Maitland! Too Much for One Town!!"; "A story never told so frankly... So intimately! You Will Go Away... Whispering!"; "From Russ Meyer... the producer who gave you Lorna"; "If the frank presentation of intimate passions offends you, Do Not see this motion picture"; "More Shocking than 'Peyton Place' - Bawdier than 'Tobacco Road' - Earthier than 'God's Little Acre' - The unflinching Expose of small-town Lust and Savagery.. Voluptuous women and Virile men - all caught in the merciless Coils of primitive Passions and Raw Emotions"; "For mature adults") starring Hal Hopper, Antoinette Christiani, John Furlong, Stu Lancaster, Rena Horten, Frank Bolger, Princess Livingston, Nick Wolcuff, Lee Ballard, Sam Hanna, Mickey Foxx, F. Rufus Owens, and Lorna Maitland (billed as "featuring Lorna Maitland"). Note that director Russ Meyer released this movie in 1965 as both "Rope of Flesh" and "Mudhoney", giving each its own complete ad campaign (he did this with several of his movies, almost certainly to trick both theater owners and theatergoers into booking and seeing the same movie more than once!). The posters and lobby cards for the "Mudhoney" release are of superior design and are more desirable by collectors. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Rogers Important Added Info: Note that this one-sheet measures 28" x 42" [71 x 107 cm]. Note that all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson. Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked). This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "Exploitation". Condition: good. There are pinholes scattered along parts of the foldlines and edges and there are some stains at lower left. Learn More about condition grades
