SHOCKPROOF (1949) 4907

Original Columbia Pictures Half Sheet Poster (22x28) for the Douglas Sirk film-noir, SHOCKPROOF (1949)-- starring Cornel Wilde, Patricia Knight, John Baragrey, and Esther Minciotti. Released from prison after five years for killing a man to protect her gambling lover Harry (Baragrey), Jenny (Knight) is assigned to parole officer Griff (Wilde). Trying to help her go straight, Griff moves her to his house as a companion to his blind mother. Jenny and Griff fall in love and secretly marry, since marriage is strictly forbidden between a parolee and parole officer. But when Harry tries to blackmail Jenny, he is shot in the struggle. Griff thinks that no jury would believe that the shooting was an accident; so, he joins Jenny on the lamb and works as a day laborer. This original half sheet poster is in very good condition. Some staining on the bottom and left edge. Nevertheless a good noir design. Very femme fatale!
