STRIPTEASE GIRL, ORIGINAL ONE-SHEET MOVIE POSTER, 1952, TEMPEST STORM, RARE!

Description

Striptease
Girl
(Sonney Amusement Enterprises, 1952).
One Sheet (27" X 41"). Back in the days when Burlesque was still a thriving entertainment medium, performers like Tempest Storm, Bettie Page, and Sherry Britton were famous, not only for their exceptional beauty, but for their sensuous dance routines as well. Unfortunately, the days of Burlesque are now long past, but documentaries like this, a filmed record of an actual Burlesque performance, still exist to give us a taste of what this spirited successor to vaudeville must have been like. This particular film features the voluptuous Tempest Storm, whose breasts, at one time, were insured by Lloyds of London for million, and who was romantically linked to such notable figures as John F. Kennedy, Sammy Davis Jr., and Elvis Presley, among others.
This rare poster was salvaged from the storeroom of the iconic Guild Theater in San Francisco, before it closed in 1987, and is very well preserved, in it's original condition.  The poster was stored folded, in a paper bag, and is being offered in the original, unrestored condition.  As you can see from the scans, there is some water staining at the corners and edges, and the original fold lines are evident.  This poster should really be preserved by having it linen backed, and the majority of the condition issues would be greatly improved by that process, but I leave that decision to the new owner.  Overall, a very attractive example of the poster, with excellent paper quality.  An extremely rare vintage poster.  NOT a reproduction, copy, or print, but the original theater poster supplied to the venues who showed the film.
