Auction History Result 5g763 RIOT 1sh '69 Jim Brown & Gene Hackman escape from jail, cool images on yellow background! Date Sold 3/3/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Riot, the 1969 Buzz Kulik jail prison escape crime thriller ("Cully- Fletcher- Kelly- Mary- Surefoot- Grossman-"; "They exploded the ugliest riot in prison history to cover their dangerous, desperate break for freedom."; "Based upon "The Riot" by Frank Elli"; produced by William Castle) starring Jim Brown, Gene Hackman, Mike Kellin, Gerald S. O'Loughlin, Ben Carruthers, Clifford David, and "featuring inmates of Arizona State Prison". Note that there is a real mystery about this movie. We have auctioned stills from it that have captions on the back indicating that they were taken by photographer Lawrence Schiller, and several of them show "inmate/actor" Frenchie Wooten, who is a 24 year old who was "serving a 15 year sentence for killing a homosexual within the walls of the prison", and it also states that "Frenchie has been granted the second largest role in the movie". Yet, Frenchie Wooten is not billed as being in the movie, and there is nothing about him on the Internet. The only thing we can imagine is that the movie was being filmed with Wooten, but that when news of this came out, people (likely friends and relatives of the murdered man) objected to his being in the movie, and apparently his lines were completely removed from the movie, although it seems he is still in the prison scenes. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the poster in this auction is one of several one-sheets we are auctioning in separate auctions that have something unusual about them. It is that all of these one-sheets (which date from 1968 to 1973) were never folded, which is VERY UNUSUAL for pre-1980 posters. They were found together, and you likely could never find another example of these posters that were never folded. We are 100% certain they are authentic one-sheets that were printed between 1968 and 1973! Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
