Auction History Result 8g996 WOMAN IN QUESTION 1/2sh 1953 English version of Rashomon, Five Angles on Murder, cool pulp art! Date Sold 8/2/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1953 Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) The Woman in Question (released in the U.S. in 1953 as "Five Angles on Murder"), the 1950 Anthony Asquith English crime murder mystery melodrama (about a fortune teller who is murdered, and the police find five different suspects, and must determine which one killed her) starring Jean Kent, Dirk Bogarde, John McCallum, Susan Shaw, Hermione Baddeley, and Duncan Macrae. Note that this is a fascinating but sadly forgotten movie, and those few who remember it say it is an excellent movie (one of many director Anthony Asquith did at this time)! It was released just three months after Rashomon, and it employs the exact same plot device, where five people are interviewed about a murder victim, and each paints a very different picture of what she was like, and the viewer must decide which is the reality (if any of them are!). It certainly is possible that this movie was conceived after Rashomon, but if it was, then it was made incredibly fast, so it seems more likely that they had the same idea independently. In addition, the movie was released in England in 1950, and the IMDb says it was released in the U.S. in 1952, and we HAVE seen a still with a 1952 NSS number, but ALL the posters we have seen are from 1953 and are re-titled "Five Angles on Murder", so we wonder if that 1952 release was aborted, or if there was a 1952 release, it might have been extremely limited. 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 has never been folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
