A Rare Original 'Guns Girls and Gangsters' Movie Poster (1959)
Lot details
A lovely period piece depicting a typically alluring image of Ms Doren in this Film, playing a Ganster's Moll. The poster has been professionally mounted to linen for preservation, with some light wear and foldlines; a scarce piece of 50's Cinema memorabilia. 27x41 inches.
Chuck Wheeler (Gerald Mohr) gets out of prison and heads to Las Vegas to enact an elaborate heist where he plans to steal an armored car carrying over $2 million in post-New Year's gambling money. He enlists the aide of local gangster Joe Darren (Grant Richards) and his lounge singer fiancé Vi (Mamie Van Doren), who just happens to be the wife of Wheeler's old cell mate. They plan everything out and it looks like it will go smoothly until Vi's ex-husband, Mike (Lee Van Cleef), breaks out of jail. This is a quick moving B-picture and director Edward L. Cahn never lets it lag through its 70 minutes.
