Merle Connell white slavery prostitution sexploitation melodrama ("Exposing"; "Shocking drama of wayward girls"; "A true story that shocked and rocked the nation"; "All new! Wide screen"; "Models wanted! No experience necessary"; "Beautiful Hollywood models lured into scarlet Vice by vicious gang lords"; "Girls! Bought, sold and traded"; "Innocent girls swept into a mad whirlpool of distruction [sic]"; about a young woman who goes from her small town to visit her "successful" older sister in Hollywood, California, but when she gets there, she discovers that her sister is a high priced prostitute, and two days later, she herself is also working there; she wants to leave, but the mobsters who run the place have other ideas) starring Joy Reynolds, Geri Moffatt, Marko Perri, Guy Manford, and Lisa Rack. Note that this movie had an odd release history, opening in Austin, Texas in January 1956, and then in New York City in May 1956. It was released by both Sonney Amusement and Joseph Brenner, and it had two release names, which may have been because it had two different distributors. Movie paper with the title "The Flesh Merchant" is far more rare than that with the title " The Wild and Wicked". We have auctioned a single pressbook with that title, but we have never auctioned a one-sheet (although the pressbook does show an image of that one-sheet). Important Added Info: Note that this pressbook contains unclothed women, so we have placed white bars over those areas, for those who are bothered by such images. Of course, the actual pressbook does not have those white bars! Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: very good to fine, NO CUTS. Learn More about condition grades
