An Original Vintage Linenbacked One-Sheet Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) the 1946 double-bill release ("2 daring thrill hits!"; "Beautiful girls... shackled to a life of scarlet vice and black crime!"; "How far should a girl go to get her man!"; "Girls who must love to live!") of Mad Youth (known as "Girls of the Underworld" for this release), the 1940 Willis Kent wild dancing teens musical melodrama ("A jitterbug dance - a paid romance!"; "Free-living mothers - neglected daughters - paid escorts") starring Mary Ainslee, Betty Compson, Betty Atkinson, William Costello (billed as "Willy Castello"), Tommy Wonder, and Lorelei Readoux ANDProbation, the 1932 Richard Thorpe family crime melodrama (based on the story by Edward T. Lowe Jr.) starring Sally Blane (Loretta Young's sister!), John Darrow, J. Farrell MacDonald, Clara Kimball Young, Eddie Phillips, and Betty Grable (in her seventh credited movie role, and her first as Betty Grable; previously she was billed as "Frances Dean"!). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that we can't say for certain that the top half of this double-bill is a re-titling of "Mad Youth", but the IMDb says that "Girls of the Underworld" is a reissue title for that movie, and it makes sense, so we are going with it! Also, note that this double-bill was done by a very clever promoter, who took two pretty old movies and presented them as though they were brand new sexploitation movies, and of course, they capitalized on Betty Grable's small role in the movie "Probation", making it seem as though she was the star of the movie (because she was of course, a major star in 1946!). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the poster is undated, but it has a litho number, and comparing this number to our massive database of litho numbers taken from actual movie posters, we can determine that this poster is almost certainly from 1946!
