Auction History Result 6a328 HANDLE WITH CARE linen 1sh 1964 sexy Georgia Carr, fun-filled all black musical, very rare! Date Sold 4/29/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Handle With Care, the 1964 John K. McCarthy black African American romantic musical comedy ("The fun-filled musical that will leave you with a twinkle in your eye!"; "Hear these Songs: 'Handle with Care' 'Too Little and Too Late' 'Sad Dreams and Bitter Teardrops'") starring Georgia Carr, Otis Greene, Eddie Beale (billed as "Eddie Beal"), Leroy Daniels, and Ernest Mayhand. This is an "all black" movie, like the ones that were so popular in the 1930s and 1940s. I had no idea any of these were still being made in the mid-1960s, but this director wrote and directed two sexploitation movies at this time (one before this movie and one after), and I guess he decided to make a third that focused on black African American performers. Four years later, the director was the co-screenwriter of a biker movie, and that ended his Hollywood career, and we have no idea why it was so brief. The poster says "A Cinema-Video International Release" at the bottom right, and we are not sure what the "video" or the "international" part of that refers to! If anyone knows more about any of this , please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned one example of this one-sheet (and that was 11 years ago, when it sold for $142), but no other movie paper from this obscure black movie until we were consigned this second one-sheet. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some slight darkening on the folds, with tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss in the top quarter of the vertical fold and in the right half of the top fold. It had the title written on the back of the top center, which bled through to the front, just above the title. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
