Date Sold 5/16/2017Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 28" x 41" [71 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Una Lettera All'Alba (released in the U.S. in 1951 as "Cocaine: The Thrill That Kills"), the 1948 Giorgio Bianchi Italian sexploitation drug melodrama ("Strips the Soul Bare"; "Inflames the senses"; "Bold. Revealing. True"; "This picture is a lesson for every teen-ager - and a warning for every parent!"; "This picture is definitely not recommended for children"; "Timely as today's headlines"; "Adult Entertainment"; "This picture will shock you..."; "No crime too vicious... no manhunt more intense... in the battle against the dealers of death!") starring Fosco Giachetti, Jacques Sernas, Tatyana Pavlova, Lea Padovani, and Margherita Bagni. Note that around 1951, a very clever distributor came up with the idea of releasing this movie under the lurid title of "Cocaine" in France and "Cocaine: The Thrill That Kills!" in the U.S. and featured a large image of a syringe (presumably filled with cocaine!). There have been a number of window cards found from this U.S. release, and they have often been mistakenly been sold as possibly being from the 1930s, but they are from around 1951, and are from the above 1948 re-titled Italian movie. 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, as noted above, there are a large number of window cards from this movie that were found, and have been slowly sold throughout the hobby. However, this one-sheet, which has a different image, is extremely rare (we have only auctioned it twice before, once 18 years ago, and once this year). Also note that this one-sheet measures 28" x 41" [71 x 104 cm]. Condition: poor to fair. There is much water staining across the center of the poster and across the top and bottom of the poster, and it has discolored the poster in those areas, but because of the solid black in the poster, it is much more seen in the top and bottom of the poster, and in part of the letters of the title (see our image). There is also separation in the top quarter of the vertical fold and tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of some folds. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored. Learn More about condition grades
