Description
Original Columbia Pictures Six Sheet Poster (81x81). Fine Plus Condition.
Original Columbia Pictures Six Sheet Poster (81x81) for the Hugo Haas film noir classic, PICKUP (1951) starring Beverly Michaels, and Allan Nixon. This is the sad story of a middle-aged widower who meets and marries the conniving and venal dominatrix Michaels, who plots with her younger lover how to kill Haas and collect his "fortune" of $7000 in savings. Haas adapted the screenplay from a novel by Josef Kopta to produce a tight story line with some nice twists and turns. But Michaels' throaty femme fatale is the truly remarkable feature of the film as she reveals with great gusto the true depths of treachery to which she will gleefully stoop to get her husband's money. This original six sheet poster is in fine plus condition. Six sheets are large-format poster comprised of different panels which are joined together to present as one large poster. So called "bad girl" posters do not get better - or badder - than this. Printed on four panels. Unbacked. This poster would be a great candidate for linen backing.
