An original quarter-fold movie poster for the 1964 horror film "Strait-Jacket," starring Joan Crawford. The poster features a striking graphic of Crawford's character, Lucy Harbin, wielding an axe, rendered in a distinctive mid-century American horror style. The colour palette primarily consists of blues, yellows, and reds against an off-white background, typical of movie posters from the era. The poster is housed in a simple black frame under glass. The bottom right corner shows the copyright date of 1963 by Columbia Pictures. This piece captures the essence of classic psychological thrillers and the iconic status of Joan Crawford in the genre.
It is actually a half sheet rather than the larger one sheet which are typically printed on heavier card stock.The quarter-fold allows the poster to be folded and easily mailed to theatres rather than rolled, tubed and shipped. The folds, then, are naturally occurring in these posters. The frame is for protecting the piece from damage to the edges and the paper in general. It should be framed in non-acid materials behind UV glass.
