Pickup on South Street, the classic 1953 Samuel Fuller Red Menace government agent crime film noir ("How the F.B.I. took a chance on a B-girl... and won!"; "From a story by Dwight Taylor"; "Screen play by Samuel Fuller"; "Adapted from the play by Dwight Taylor"; about a beautiful "B-girl" who does not realize that she is carrying microfilm for Communists which will be sent to Moscow, and a pickpocket picks her pocket, and both the FBI and the Communists will do anything to get the microfilm back, and the pickpocket and the B-girl become romantically involved) starring Richard Widmark, Jean Peters, Thelma Ritter (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Murvyn Vye, Richard Kiley, Willis B. Bouchey, and Milburn Stone. Note that originally Betty Grable was going to play the lead female role, and Marilyn Monroe read for the part as well, but ultimately, Jean Peters got the part.

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

Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one (or ANY Japanese movie paper for this title) in all our years of auctioning! Note also that this poster was tri-folded only (which means there is no vertical machine fold) but because it would be more expensive to send flat, it will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: good. The poster has some discoloration scattered in various areas (see our image).
