An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 15" [28 x 38 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) The Girl on the Bridge, the 1951 Hugo Haas bad girl crime film noir ("That 'Pickup' Girl is Back..!"; "Picking up where she left off!"; "More tempting, more tantalizing, more taunting than ever!"; "Put together by the devil to drive men wild!"; "She's man-bait and murder!") starring Hugo Haas, Beverly Michaels, Robert Dane, Anthony Jochim, and John Close. Note that star/director Hugo Haas was a native of Czechoslovakia, and in 1937, he wrote the screenplay for a movie, "Skeleton on Horseback", based on a play by Karel Capek (best remembered as the author of "R.U.R.", the first literary mention of robots), and that movie was obviously intended as an allegory against Hitler and fascism. When Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia right after the movie was made, Haas fled to the United States, but he never achieved major prominence in movies, although he is well remembered for directing a series of movies about an old man in love with a young beautiful woman (starring Haas himself, with a series of "bad girls", including Cleo Moore)!
