Title: Bowery Battalion Posters (1951), LCs, Stills etc.
Post by: Lost Silents on April 24, 2014, 05:40:11 AM

I am looking for literally any movie paper connected to the film Bowery Battalion (1951). One condition - it has to feature Virginia Hewitt.  She's the female lead in the film, and should be pretty easy to spot. Example here:

Yes, one needs to be careful about loose talk!  I once was doing a poster sale and my assistant called Barbara Payton "a slut."  This of course was a joking comment because he didn't know Barbara Payton at all.  He was just referring to her roles.  But the guy he was talking to teared up and got silent -- it tuned out that Payton was his MOTHER.  I never forgot that, seriously.  And I never make comments about personalities until I know who I'm talking to.  Apparently this kid (he was in college) had had a sad history with his mom.

A great little anecdote, there, Kirby.

And talk about a non intentional yet a "foot in mouth" moment.   hitself

Yes!  As I said we were at a poster show, and this kid came up and asked me what we had on Barbara Payton.  I told him we had a three sheet and a one sheet for BAD BLONDE!  And then all this ensued.  I felt really bad, I'll tell you.
