An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81") (Learn More)

The Wages of Sin, the 1938 Herman E. Webber prostitution sexploitation melodrama ("Was she right in killing him? Your verdict may bring you a big cash prize."; "1000.00 Cash"; "A million thrills!"; "Reveals all and points a powerful moral!"; "A picture that hits you right between the eyes"; "Girls led to ruin by unscrupulous men"; "How do girls broke and desperate get by?"; "Adults only") starring Constance Worth, Willy Castello, Blanche Mehaffey, Frank LaRue, and Rose Plumer

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that we have previously sold one-sheets and lobby cards from this movie, and we feel certain that they are from 1940s roadshow releases (because they are not colorful and have that kind of "look"). But this great three-sheet must surely be from the first 1938 release, and it has great stone litho images, and a wonderful tagline, "$1000.00 CASH", which no doubt seemed like a fortune in 1938, but if someone sold their soul today for that amount, they sure wouldn't be doing very well at all!

The poster had small paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases, tears, and tiny paper loss on parts of some foldlines, and some creases, tears, and tiny paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
