Awesome pickup there, Damo.

And in great condition, too.

Thanks Jeff and Gargoyle67 best of luck on your hunt to obtain the poster. I saw that last one on EMP but the 2 inch tear in the middle top put me off

Prices on these "Art Deco" 1Ss have steadily dropped over the years, so I was able to "recover" this one relatively cheap:

I think others will recover even more in the coming years

What's written under the WB logo on The Price and the Showgirl poster? Looks to maybe be an autograph?

Hey Jeff believe it's the German Artist..."Hans Otto Wendt, 1957" - I'll have in hand in a few days for confirmation.

Mau Mau is a British docu-movie made in 1955, that is during the British colony and few years after the Mau Mau (rebel group) uprising which started in 1952.
This cheap docu-movie is made for UK audience and aim was to shock the audience by detailing atrocities made by the Mau Mau cult.  The movie can be seen here - http://www.historicfilms.com/tapes/2101    It is clearly a docu-propaganda movie and precursor of the mondo/shockumentary popular in the 60s and 70s, especially the ones produced by the controversial Gualtiero Jacopetti known for his politically oriented faux documentaries ("Africa Addio" and "Goodbye Uncle Tom").

Note that the same year, another movie called "Simba; the Mark of Mau Mau" was also released, featuring  Dirk Bogarde and Virginia McKenna which is much better.   The American released one movie called "Something of Value" in 1957 about the same subject (based on a novel) and starring Rock Hudson and Sidney Poitier which is great !

Another really cool looking poster! What size is this, Steve? Is it an A1?

And the other thing that caught me eye was the English title in paranthesis: The Killer SCREWS  --  now that's awesome And priceless.
