An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Gun Crazy, the 1950 Joseph H. Lewis bad girl crime film noir ("Thrill crazy... Kill crazy..."; "The Flaming Life of Laurie Starr [the lethal blonde]"; "...her violent loves! ...her vicious crimes! ...her wild escapes!"; "Notorious Laurie Starr! ...wanted in a dozen states... hunted by the F.B.I.!"; "She was more than any man could handle!"; "From The Saturday Evening Post Story by MacKinlay Kantor") starring Peggy Cummins, John Dall, Berry Kroeger, Russ Tamblyn, and Don Beddoe. Note that in 1949 Joseph H. Lewis had released this movie as "Deadly Is the Female". In 1950 he re-titled this movie "Gun Crazy" and gave it a full-scale release under that name. There are posters of all sizes and lobby cards for both titles (which is why we list them as two separate titles), and the "Gun Crazy" paper has never been called a "re-release" within the hobby, although technically it is.

Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned five examples of this one-sheet (one of the most desirable non-horror one-sheets from the 1950s), but the last one was 9 years ago, and it sold for $6,255! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and pretty minor fold wear. It had some creases and tears in the top center in the background area between the man and the large image of Cummins, slightly extending into the back of his hair. It had a few smudges and tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame. The creases described in the top center are not very distracting at all, but certainly, they could be easily touched up without re-backing this wonderful poster! Learn More about condition grades
