"Pickup" Film Poster

About the Item

Original US film poster from the 1951 film Pickup. Hugo Haas (1901-1968) was an acknowledged master of bad girl films. He was born in Czechoslovakia, where he was an actor before fleeing to America during the Nazi invasion. He began working as an announcer on US broadcasts to occupied Eastern Europe. After the war Haas resurrected his acting career, but found himself frequently typecast as a foreign villain, none the less acting did enable Haas to finance his first love - filmmaking. In the 1950s, he began making his own independent films, which he both starred in and directed. His sensationalist films followed the typical B-movie model. All his plots unfolded with the same general story line: a lonely middle-aged man (played by Haas) is seduced by a sexy blond with a bad reputation. This poster is in excellent condition with the colors remaining very bright. Very minor restoration to folds. This poster has been conservation Linen backed and would be shipped rolled in a strong tube.

'Maîtresse' Original Vintage Film Poster by Allen Jones, American, 1976
By Allen Jones
Located in Devon, GB
In an early commercial commission, renowned British Pop Artist Allen Jones was asked to design the publicity poster for the 1976 US release of Barbet Schroeder’s 1973 fetish romance 'Maîtresse,' starring a young Gerard Depardieu as the small time crook who stumbles into the double-life of a dominatrix, played by Bulle Ogier. Werner Gallery, who exhibited Jones' original artwork in 2016, stated that 'despite his inability to Identify with its explicit sadomasochistic themes, Jones accepted the poster commission based on his fondness for the powerfully stylized heroine of the film.' Jones' original design, with the high-heeled, leather-clad brunette with bull whip in hand, proved too risqué for the distributor, so the figure was reworked into a blonde beauty gripping a pair of keys instead of the more provocative whip. In 2008, Jones revisited his original design and began developing it into a series of dominatrix paintings...
