Appears in Vintage Hollywood Posters 6 CATALOG SOLD OUT The image at right appears in the auction catalog we published as shown above and was sold long ago and we do NOT have it available for purchase. Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Ladies They Talk About, the 1933 Howard Bretherton & William Keighley women-in-prison crime melodrama ("Don't do what Barbara Stanwyck does in Ladies They Talk About"; based on the play by Dorothy Mackaye & Carlton Miles; set in San Quentin State Penitentiary; about a woman who gets involved with some crooks planning a robbery, and she is caught during the robbery, and there is not much evidence against her, but she confesses and is sent to a state prison, where she is incarcerated with tough black and white female inmates!) starring Barbara Stanwyck, Preston Foster, Lyle Talbot, Dorothy Burgess, Lillian Roth, and Maude Eburne. Note that there were many surprising elements to this pre-Code women-in-prison movie, including having black female inmates with speaking roles and a lesbian scene, something that was never done in movies from the major Hollywood studios at this time. This was one of those movies that helped bring about the Production Code, and, of course, the wonderful art a barely clad Barbara Stanwyck on the one-sheet, by famed pinup artist Alberto Vargas, certainly greatly helped "sell" the movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good to fine. 1" of clean separation at the top and bottom crossfolds; smudging in the white area around the bottom crossfold and in the white area to the left of Stanwyck's left leg; the poster was lightly folded in half an extra time; there are two tiny pinholes in each corner and in two of the corners there is a third pinhole; The above is truly nitpicking! The poster is in really about as nice condition as one could hope to find it (and it is entirely unrestored, and there is not a piece of tape anywhere on it!) Learn More about condition grades
