Date Sold 12/19/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1951 Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Una Lettera All'Alba (released in the U.S. in 1951 as "Cocaine: The Thrill That Kills"), the 1948 Giorgio Bianchi Italian sexploitation drug melodrama ("Strips the Soul Bare"; "Inflames the senses"; "Bold. Revealing. True"; "This picture is a lesson for every teen-ager - and a warning for every parent!"; "This picture is definitely not recommended for children"; "Timely as today's headlines"; "Adult Entertainment"; "This picture will shock you..."; "No crime too vicious... no manhunt more intense... in the battle against the dealers of death!") starring Fosco Giachetti, Jacques Sernas, Tatyana Pavlova, Lea Padovani, and Margherita Bagni. Note that around 1951, a very clever distributor came up with the idea of releasing this movie under the lurid title of "Cocaine" in France and "Cocaine: The Thrill That Kills!" in the U.S. and featured a large image of a syringe (presumably filled with cocaine!). There have been a number of window cards found from this U.S. release, and they have often been mistakenly been sold as possibly being from the 1930s, but they are from around 1951, and are from the above 1948 re-titled Italian movie.
