An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Vendetta, the 1950 Mel Ferrer New Orleans Louisiana bad girl crime murder intrigue film noir ("Shocking! Thrilling!"; "Love is wild... Life is violent... Death is cheap!"; "Child of the Devil... She lives by the code of the Vendetta."; "She lives by the code of the Vendetta!"; produced by Howard Hughes; about a beautiful woman who wants to avenge her father's murder and gets her brother to do the actual work) starring Faith Domergue, George Dolenz (billed as "introducing George Dolenz"), Hillary Brooke, Nigel Bruce, Joseph Calleia, Hugo Haas, and Donald Buka. Note that this movie has an extremely unusual history! Preston Sturges originally intended to write and direct it, but he was fired by Howard Hughes, who then hired Max Ophuls, and then he too was fired, and Mel Ferrer ended up directing it. The movie was very ill-fated, being filmed in 1946 at a then-incredible cost of $4 million, and it was so lavish because Hughes wanted to give a proper showcase to his latest protege Faith Domergue, but the movie ended up being shelved for four years, and it was not released until 1950! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: fair to good. There is much light water staining scattered throughout the poster and there is much clear tape on the back of the vertical foldline. Fortunately, this is the sort of poster that responds really well to restoration. It is likely that much of the faint water staining can be removed through chemical means, and of course, the tape can be removed as well, and after proper linenbacking, the poster will look great, and there will likely be little paint restoration needed!
