A 1953 Re-Release (re-titled "Hell Breaks Loose" for this re-release) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Let's Live a Little, the 1948 Richard Wallace romantic love triangle comedy ("The love affair of a laugh-time!"; "Original story by Albert J. Cohen and Jack Harvey"; about an ad executive who has romantic complications in his life, including his clients, one of whom is a female psychiatrist) starring Hedy Lamarr ("Hedy's made for love!"), Robert Cummings (Bob Cummings; "Bob's made for Laughs!"), Anna Sten, Robert Shayne, Mary Treen, Harry Antrim, Norma Varden, and Curt Bois. Note that this is an odd movie, in that it was made by Eagle-Lion Films. Eagle-Lion was a British company that distributed English movies in the U.S. In 1947, they bought PRC, with hopes of elevating the combined studio into a major Hollywood studio, and they hired top name stars (at high salaries) to do so. But they lost a lot of money in 1947, and in 1948, they switched to making smaller movies, and these were far more successful, including T-Men, Raw Deal, and The Noose Hangs High. But they still had their debt from 1947, and they had to declare bankruptcy. They then merged with Film Classics in 1950 to become Eagle-Lion Classics. But then, in 1951, the studio head, Arthur Krim, was offered the top position at United Artists, which he took, and that was the end of Eagle-Lion! 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 in 1953, this movie was re-released, and the distributors wanted to make the movie seem sexier and more exciting than it actually was, so they retitled the movie "Hell Breaks Loose", and they used a far sexier image of Hedy Lamarr than had been used on the original release one-sheet! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds, a few tiny tears and smudges on the vertical fold, and pinholes around the edges. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did little restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
