An Original Vintage Theatrical Forty by Sixty Movie Poster (40x60; measures 40" x 60" [102 x 152 cm]) (Learn More) Should a Girl Say Yes?, the 1952 Klaytan W. Kirby sexploitation teens-getting-in-trouble movie ("The season's most sensational picture!"; "Adam said yes ...Eve said...? Should a Girl Say Yes?"; "Clean! Moral! Decent!"; "Positively no one under 16 admitted"; "The amazing adventures of a beautiful blonde who 'went wild out west'"; "A picture to thrill and delight you..."; "If you like 'Unusual' Entertainment you'll love... Should a Girl Say Yes?"; "Wonderous [sic] Scenes of Sheer Lovliness! [sic]"; "She wanted 'to live and learn'...and she found plenty of males eager to help her with both!") starring Dorothy Abbott, Thad Swift, Phil Rhodes, Carol Brewster, and "The most glamorous gorgeous girls ever captured on film!". Note that this is a very confusing movie! IMDB has the date as 1953 but we have seen newspaper ads from January 1st, 1953 stating it's run was "ending tonight", which indicates that it was released in late 1952. Like many sexploitation movies from the time, it was released under several titles and stayed in theaters for years during it's first release as it moved around the country. This film even had a version with additional 3D footage added to cash in on the 3D craze of the time! If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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 this poster apparently is from a 1950s roadshow of "A Virgin in Hollywood". The taglines are pretty similar, and it has an added "SEE THESE SIGHTS IN 3D" tagline, which would seem to indicate that some enterprising distributor tried to take advantage of the 3-D craze, and added new 3D footage. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that the poster is on a heavy board (it was created that way) and was likely created by a regional company that supplied posters for roadshow releases of low budget movies. It will need to be sent in a very large flat package. UPDATED 11/12/2012: Note that the consignor of these posters tells us that, contrary to what was written in the auction description, the posters had Plexiglas over them for the years they were displayed, but obviously it did not provide enough protection to the posters, because they sustained the damaged described on each. Condition: fair to good. The poster was created on a heavy board, with red tape around the edges to create a "picture frame-like" border. Someone nailed the poster to a wall with nails in the red border areas and it hung on a wall unprotected for decades, and there are a few scratches and scattered scuffs and white marks throughout the image, with a fine vertical scratch mark near the top center of the image, in the background area (see our image). The red tape is slightly frayed in the corners. In spite of these many defects, the poster still is really impressive and would be striking on anyone's wall, and certainly, professional restoration could be performed, if the new owner desires it!
