Auction History Result 5t1032 LONELY SEX 1sh 1959 Richard Hilliard, his desperate cry tears thru the night, before Psycho! Date Sold 1/16/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Lonely Sex, the 1959 Richard Hilliard kidnapping crime thriller ("His desperate cry tears thru the night..."; "With all the frustrations of... The Lonely Sex"; about a sexually frustrated mentally unbalanced man that kidnaps a young woman in the deluded hope that she will become his "girlfriend" and his extreme loneliness) starring Jean Evans, Karl Ludwig Lindt, Leon Benedict, Mary Gonzalez, and Carl Collyer. Note that this movie was made the year prior to both "Psycho" and "Peeping Tom", two major films from highly respected directors (Alfred Hitchcock and Michael Powell), and it has a similar plot line, and yet it is completely forgotten today, except by major film buffs. It only had a running time of 58 minutes, and there is brief nudity at the beginning of the movie, and it is often dismissed as simply another "sexploitation" movie of the time, but it was really quite different, with an attempt to both understand and feel pity for the mentally unbalanced kidnapper, just as would occur a year later in the above two major movies. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. The poster was folded in half an extra time resulting in a light vertical foldline at left and right and there is some tiny deterioration and paper loss along portions of the lower vertical foldline (see our image).
