Appears in Vintage Hollywood Posters 9 CATALOG SOLD OUT The image at right appears in the auction catalog we published as shown above and was sold long ago and we do NOT have it available for purchase. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Title Lobby Card (measures 11" x 14") (Learn More) The Last Page (released in the U.S. as "Man Bait"), the 1952 Terence Fisher English romantic crime bad girl film noir ("The Cards are Stacked... against any man who falls for her kind of Man Bait"; "Looking for a date?... Go easy! She's 'Man Bait'"; "Blonde Blackmail!"; "Look if you like... but Look Out! She's Man Bait"; "Screenplay by Frederick Knott from an original story by James Hadley Chase") starring George Brent, Marguerite Chapman, Diana Dors (billed as "introducing Diana Dors"), Raymond Huntley, and Peter Reynolds. Note that there are a couple of interesting oddities about this movie. One is that it was director Terence Fisher's very first movie (he would go on to become very famous for his Hammer horror movies). The other is that, for the American release, it says "introducing Diana Dors", but she had appeared in a dozen movies prior to this, so that was very misleading, to say the least. Finally, note that while this was an English movie, we have never auctioned anything from that English release (with the title "The Last Page"), so we list it under its American title, because it is far better known by that title. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good to very good. The card has a partial vertical fold down the center. Looking at it from the back, it appears to go halfway down the card, but from the front, it only goes to the girl's shoulder. There are smudges in her chin and along the light foldline through her cheek. There are two faint areas of discoloration in the lower part of the credits box. There are creases, smudges, and scuffs around the edges of the card. There are two light vertical "bends" down the length of the card on the right side running down the center of the title, and two on the left side running down the center of the credits, but they are all really faint and mostly only noticeable from the back of the card. It looks like someone once rolled this card into their hand and the crease and bends were likely caused by that. While this card clearly has some defects, most of them have little effect on the enjoyment of the image, except for the smudges on the girl's face, which can possibly be removed without backing the card.
