Note that this movie has been confused with the 1956 Canadian documentary movie of the same name (including by us!), but we don't believe the two movies are connected. Also note that there is a strong possibility that this 1950 movie was not first made in 1950, but that it might be a re-titling, and perhaps re-editing, of almost any of the 1930s and 1940s sexploitation/crime movies (one strong possibility is the 1943 crime movie "Confessions of a Vice Baron", because the IMDb says it was re-released under the title of "Skid Row")! If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this one-sheet measures 28 1/2" x 41". Please do not bid on this poster thinking it is 27" x 41". Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some very minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). Note that we gave this condition grade to a very few posters that were in pretty good condition prior to linenbacking, but which were not all that well linenbacked, and which could be fairly easily re-backed with only minor additional restoration. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and minor fold and border wear. There are scuff marks throughout the image, but we believe this to be a printing defect. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well. Learn More about condition grades
