An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Mating Urge, the 1959 Howard C. Brown & Richard F. Morean courtship-around-the-world mating ritual documentary ("Cupid has a field day in mating!"; "You must see it to believe it!"; "...what a gal has to do to snag a mate!"; "Authentic! Startling!"; "Filmed around the world in Eastman Color!"; "Unashamed love rites exposed for the first time!"; "Shocking! [maybe to you but not to them!]"; "Authentic! filmed by 17 cameramen around the world!"; "See eye-openers in lovemaking like these!"; "The fertility tree - altar of love"; "Peek-a-boo romance - a look means surrender"; "Women marry women - and man is the love slave"). This 40 minute documentary was created by stitching together old stock black and white and color footage from Kenya, West Africa, South Africa, New Hebrides, New Guinea, Ceylon, Malaya, and Bali, and then adding narration written by Richard F. Morean which was narrated by Art Gilmore, with music written and performed by Stanley Wilson And His Orchestra. This movie was released as a sexploitation movie with the many lurid taglines listed above, and it made it sound far more entertaining (and titillating) than it actually was (its only sexual content was a tiny bit of very brief National Geographic-like nudity)! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had some tiny bits of paper loss in the vertical fold between the middle and bottom crossfolds, and minor wear on the other folds. It had small paper loss at the right ends of the top and bottom horizontal folds, in the blank border only. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
