Auction History Result 5w009 STORY OF BOB & SALLY 40x60 '48 sex, marriage, alcoholism, just how much TRUTH can you stand! Date Sold 4/6/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Forty by Sixty Movie Poster (40x60; measures 40" x 60" [102 x 152 cm]) (Learn More) The Story of Bob and Sally, the 1948 Erle C. Kenton pseudo-documentary sexploitation movie ("It's boldly frank!"; "It's humanly true!"; "It's more than just a story!"; "It's life itself"; "Adult entertainment"; "The passionate problems of today's youth who forget about consequences and defy convention"; "Alcohol will not solve his problem"; "Just how much truth can you stand concerning... sex... marriage... alcoholism"; "Please remember... with all its impact there is a pathos and tenderness that will haunt you for weeks! The most revealing picture ever filmed!"; "Sorry... shown to separate audiences only!"; "See how sexual incompatibility and 'one too many' wrecked this marriage!") starring Rick Vallin, Gloria Marlen (in the title role as Sally), Ralph Hodges (in the title role as Bob), Mary Bear, and Jean Andren. As was typical with these pseudo-sex-documentaries of the time, the movie was shown with a lecture from a prominent doctor, to lend the movie an air of respectability (and to allow it to be shown in small towns). The lecture was advertised as "Extra! Stage in Person" Roger T. Mills, ("The Man Who Calls a Spade a Spade"). This poster must have been for a drive-in movie theater (likely this was a way to get around having to have separate viewings for males and females, and it advertises "SHOWN FOR THE FIRST TIME To Adult Male and Female Audience Together"), for it says at the bottom "Bring your own family group and see it in the privacy of your own car". I wonder how many families went to see this sex movie together! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that posters for this movie are incredibly rare (likely because it may well have only been shown in roadshow engagements, and they may have only printed posters for each individual engagement). We have only previously auctioned two 30x40s and a local theater one-sheet, and we have never before auctioned this 40x60! Condition: good. There are many clear tape repairs on the back of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
