An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Door Panel Movie Poster (measures 20" x 54") (Learn More) Love Pirate, the 1971 Barry Mahon sexploitation movie ("Love-ship on the China Sea!"; "She's Coming..."; "'Dredge the alleys, the jails, the gin mills of Hong Kong and get me the wickedest, prettiest skirts you can find - bad girls, hookers, con artists! Get them together on a ship that can rule The China Sea's vicious trade in flesh!'"; "Savage! Sensual!"; "Filmed in Hong Kong!"; one of a series of outrageous "nudie cuties" by sexploitation legend Barry Mahon; this one has a wacky pirate captain with a crew of only beautiful women, many of whom take off their clothes at regular intervals!) starring Brad F. Grinter (best remembered as the director of "Blood Freak", he stars as "Captain Fu", and gives a truly terrible performance) and Hilary Lee Gaess. Note that director Barry Mahon had a fascinating life that could fill several movies! He was an American pilot for England in World War II and he was shot down and put in a POW camp, and he escaped and was the basis for the Steve McQueen character in the movie "The Great Escape" (Mahon also loved motorcycles). He became Errol Flynn's pilot and later Errol Flynn's manager. He then made many sexploitation "nudie cuties" movies in the 1950s and 1960s, but at the end of his career, he made a drastic shift, and made several children's movies (perhaps he found religion?). You can click on his name for a more complete version of this biography of his life. If anyone knows more about this movie or Mahon's drastic career changes, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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. The title of the movie was written on the back of the poster in marker and it very slightly bleeds through in the background to the right of the girl's hair, but it is truly very slight.
