Auction History Result #415 MANSON 1sh R75 AIP Squeaky Fromme Date Sold 5/21/2002Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (29" x 42") (Learn More) Manson, the 1973 Robert Hendrickson & Laurence Merrick AIP documentary (about Charles Manson and his kids; compiled from interviews with the Manson kids; "Meet one man's family revealed for the first time outside the courtroom -- the staggering details of the most hideously bizarre murders in the annals of crime suppressed until now and not permitted on TV, radio or family newspapers!"; "The terrifying truth behind the Tate-La Bianca massacre!"; "Told in their own words by the killers themselves!"; "Horrifying and unbelievably shocking") featuring documentary footage of Charles Manson, Lynette 'Squeaky' Fromme, Leslie Van Houten, Tex Watson, Robert Beausoleil, and Bruce Davis. Note that there were many people in the U.S., and particularly in California, where the murders occurred, who did not want this movie released, and it had a pretty limited release. We have seen a single Italian poster that proves it was released in Italy, but we don't know that it was ever released in any other countries outside the U.S. (the IMDb says it was also released in the Netherlands in 1973). In 1975, the movie was re-released to capitalize on the then-current notoriety of Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, who had tried to assassinate President Gerald Ford, and she was prominently pictured on that re-release poster, with the tagline "The girl who pointed the gun at the President". Even worse, the distributor cleverly printed the words "BANNED IN CALIFORNIA", on the top of the poster, making it look like a snipe, but it is actually printed on the poster, and we highly doubt it was actually banned!

Please do not bid on this poster thinking it is 27" x 41"! Note that this poster is dated 1975 and is a reissue with a completely different (and I think, better) image than the 1973 release). Condition: very good. The poster was folded in half an extra time. There are minor creases in the foldlines and a few in the borders. There is minor separation at the top crossfold. There are several small tears in the borders as well as a 1" tear in the right of the top border (slightly extending into the image). Learn More about condition grades
