A 1960 Re-Release (re-titled "Curse of a Teenage Nazi" for this re-release) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Women in the Night (also released as "When Men Are Beasts"), the 1948 William Rowland World War II (WWII) China Nazi Japan exploitation melodrama ("It screams the terrifying truth!"; "93 Choose Suicide Before Nazi Shame"; "Ninety-three in Polish School Commit Mass Suicide to Save Honor"; "Women's Torture by Axis Described"; "Girls Choose Death to Shame"; "Women forced into service as 'hostesses'!"; "Has a mother the right to kill her own daughter?"; "Germans debauch slave girls"; "NOT recommended for children!"; "Every daring incident is shockingly true!"; "Now it can be told!"; a wild exploitation movie made right after World War II, so naturally, the villains are Japanese and German Nazis; it takes place in Shanghai, near the end of the war, when Germany has fallen, but Germans and the Japanese hold Shanghai, and it is there that Japanese officers round up women of all countries and put them in a brothel for high ranking Nazis and Japanese officials; the women find the "Chinese Underground", and they not only successfully send German and Japanese secrets back to the Allies, but they also stop the Nazis from developing a "cosmic ray device", which is 1,000 times more powerful than an atom bomb!) starring Tala Birell, William Henry, Virginia Christine (she achieved much fame many years later as "Mrs. Olsen" in the Folger's Coffee TV commercials), Richard Loo, and Bernadene Hayes. Note that the posters and lobby cards for this movie say "Printed in Mexico" at the bottom right, but they are entirely in English. We wonder if perhaps the movie was so virulently anti-Japanese and generally sleazy that perhaps no U.S. distributors wanted to handle it, and perhaps it was distributed out of Mexico! Also note that the many movies like "I Was a Teenage Frankenstein" and "I Was a Teenage Werewolf" were all the rage at the end of the 1950s, and in the height of poor taste, some distributor chose to re-release this exploitation movie with the new title "Curse of a Teenage Nazi"!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some extra creases and tiny tears on parts of some foldlines, with some pinholes and tears in the borders. There is some "ghosting" of lettering in the blue background near the end of the title, but that looks to be a printing defect. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that the restorer left a tiny bit of excess linen around all four sides of the poster (they left a small border in order to protect the poster from handling damage, but they did not leave a larger border, to allow it to more easily fit in a frame).
