I Mobster [I, Mobster]

Roger Corman (director)
Joseph Hilton Smyth (novel)
Steve Fisher (screenwriter)
Robert Strauss, Steve Cochran, Celia Lovsky, Lili St.Cyr (starring)

Los Angeles: Twentieth Century-Fox, 1958. Original three-sheet poster for the 1958 US film. Based on the 1951 novel by Joseph Hilton Smyth.

Mobster Joe Sante, played by Steve Cochran, finds himself in front of a US Senate subcommittee on racketeering, and recalls his rise to power via a series of flashbacks. One of Cochran's better roles, in which he navigates the nuanced character's strict moral compass as well as his ruthless gangster tendencies. A notable film also for its inclusion of Lili St. Cyr's famed "bubble bath" burlesque act.

41 x 80 inches, folded, in two sections as issued. Very Good plus, with a handful of closed tears at the folds. A bright, attractive copy.

Royal Books can arrange for archival linen backing of posters. Please inquire.
