Behave Yourself! Alberto Vargas, Shelley Winters film pin-up poster, 1951

1951

About the Item

Original 1951 poster for Behave Yourself! starring Shelley Winters with art by pin-up master Alberto Vargas. This poster was acquired directly from the National Screen Service Archives. For decades, the National Screen Service printed all the movie posters that movie theaters rented for screenings. At the bottom of every poster was a note that said "Property of National Screen Service Corp." or "N.S.S." and the posters were supposed to be returned following the movie run. While many posters were destroyed by the elements and others were pulled off the wall by collectors, a great many returned to their home and piled up for many many years. We were fortunate enough to be able to acquire treasures like these from the archive during its closing. This artwork has been de-acidified and mounted onto linen using archival/acid-free materials.
