An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Mudhoney (also released as "Rope of Flesh"), the 1965 Russ Meyer sexploitation movie ("...a film of ribaldry and violence made from the juice of life!"; "Passion debased by lust... Mudhoney ... Leaves a taste of evil!"; "featuring 'That Girl' from Lorna... Lorna Maitland! Too Much for One Town!!"; "A story never told so frankly... So intimately! You Will Go Away... Whispering!"; "From Russ Meyer... the producer who gave you Lorna"; "If the frank presentation of intimate passions offends you, Do Not see this motion picture"; "More Shocking than 'Peyton Place' - Bawdier than 'Tobacco Road' - Earthier than 'God's Little Acre' - The unflinching Expose of small-town Lust and Savagery.. Voluptuous women and Virile men - all caught in the merciless Coils of primitive Passions and Raw Emotions"; "For mature adults") starring Hal Hopper, Antoinette Christiani, John Furlong, Stu Lancaster, Rena Horten, Frank Bolger, Princess Livingston, Nick Wolcuff, Lee Ballard, Sam Hanna, Mickey Foxx, F. Rufus Owens, and Lorna Maitland (billed as "featuring Lorna Maitland"). Note that director Russ Meyer released this movie in 1965 as both "Rope of Flesh" and "Mudhoney", giving each its own complete ad campaign (he did this with several of his movies, almost certainly to trick both theater owners and theatergoers into booking and seeing the same movie more than once!). The posters and lobby cards for the "Mudhoney" release are of superior design and are more desirable by collectors. 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 there are THREE styles of one-sheets for this movie! One has a large red area at top with the title and a tagline and three inset images at right. The other two are very similar. They have the same image exactly, but one has a pink background and the other has an orange background. We have seen examples of one of those has "MUD HONEY STYLE B" stamped on the back. Until we learned of the style with the large red area, we reasonably assumed that the poster without the style B on the back was the style A. But once we were consigned an example of the one with the red area at top, we now feel certain that this one is actually the style A, and that the other two are both the style B, and that, at some point, the background color changed on that poster (many Russ Meyer movies stayed in release for years, so surely additional printings were required). If anyone knows more about any of this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and minor wear on the foldlines. It had some writing on the back of the center, which slightly bleeds through to the front in the girl's lips and in her hands. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but the restorer left alone the slight bleed-through (which is not very noticeable or distracting, but you can see it when you look closely).
