An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More)

Jail Bait, the 1954 Edward D. Wood Jr. (Ed Wood) bad girl crime thriller ("Danger!.. These Girls are Hot!"; "Stay Away From Them... They're Jail Bait!"; "Find the woman... the men can't be far away!"; "Original Screenplay by Alex Gordon and Edward D. Wood, Jr.") starring Dolores Fuller, Lyle Talbot, Steve Reeves, Theodora Thurman, John Martin, Scott McCloud, Bud Osborne, Timothy Farrell, Mona McKinnon, Herbert Rawlinson, and Clancy Malone. Note that Timothy Farrell is completely forgotten today, but he had a fascinating life. He worked for 26 years for the Los Angeles County Marshal's Office, and was a movie actor at the same time! He mostly worked on low budget movies, including several for Ed Wood, although he did play a bailiff in the 1954 "A Star is Born", which was the ultimate typecasting, because he himself had been a bailiff, but he eventually rose to be the County Marshal. But in 1975, he was convicted of a felony (using deputies for political activities), and he was fired. He lived for another 14 years before dying of a heart attack. His life should be made into a movie, no doubt with Johnny Depp in the starring role!

Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time. If being stored flat has caused the folds to diminish, then this poster will be sent rolled in a tube. But if being stored flat has NOT caused the folds to diminish at all, then we will re-fold the poster, and mail it in a flat package. Please be assured that we are solely looking to pack these posters in the safest possible way! If you purchase both unfolded posters and posters that CAN be re-folded, we will rule them all together into a single tube.

Condition: good. There was a 10" vertical tear in the left of the top border (extending through the "J" of "JAIL" in the title, ending in the yellow background by the girl), which was mended with tape from the reverse. There are creases, small tears, and some smudges and tape stains around the edges of the poster, and a few creases scattered through the image.
