Auction History Result 4p038 BAIT linen Spanish/U.S. 1sh '54 door's always open to sexy bad girl Cleo Moore's room, come on in! Date Sold 4/7/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (SpanUS 1sh; printed in Spanish in the U.S. for Spanish speaking audiences; 27" x 41") (Learn More) Bait, the 1954 Hugo Haas Satanic sexploitation bad girl melodrama ("...the door's open... Come on in!"; "Men go for her..."; "She's the 'Bait' in a man-trap!"; "Kisses like these cost plenty!"; "It's a man-trap and she's the 'Bait'"; "Story and Screenplay by Samuel W. Taylor") starring Cleo Moore, Hugo Haas (director, producer, and star!), John Agar, Emmett Lynn, and Bruno VeSota. 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)!

Important Added Info: Note that this poster was printed in the United States for use at theaters with Spanish speaking audiences (this was done most by MGM, starting in the 1930s, but it was done by the other major studios as well, and often the posters would have the exact same image as the English language poster, except the writing would be in Spanish, and often there would be an added "Toda en Espanol!", meaning "Entirely in Spanish!", printed within the image). Condition: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and minor wear on the foldlines. There were pinholes in the corners and a few small tears and faint stains in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
