Merle Connell white slavery prostitution sexploitation melodrama ("Exposing"; "Shocking drama of wayward girls"; "A true story that shocked and rocked the nation"; "All new! Wide screen"; "Models wanted! No experience necessary"; "Beautiful Hollywood models lured into scarlet VICE by vicious gang lords"; "Girls!

Note that this movie had an odd release history, opening in Austin, Texas in January 1956, and then in New York City in May 1956. It was released by both Sonney Amusement and Joseph Brenner, and it had two release names, which may have been because it had two different distributors. Movie paper with the title "The Flesh Merchant" is far more rare than that with the title " The Wild and Wicked". We have auctioned a single pressbook with that title, but we have never auctioned a one-sheet (although we found an image of of one online). If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster measures 28" x 42" [71 x 107 cm]. Condition: very good. There are minor creases throughout the poster (more so along the foldlines and around the edges) and there is a small amount of tattering around the edges of the poster. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it displays well and if one chose to have it linenbacked it would look great! Learn More about condition grades
