Promoting The Porno: Adult Movie Posters of the 60’s & 70’s


Photobucket
The above poster for Wall Street Walker is one of an awesome collection of porno flick posters compiled in X-Rated: Adult Movie Posters of the 60’s & 70’s, by Tony Nourmand and Graham Marsh, curators at the Rare Poster Gallery in London.
As you can imagine, porno got a very limited theatrical run in 60/70, while those participating picture houses willing to take the risk of showing stag movies were less inclined to shamelessly promote the fact with a brash poster that would have passing grannies whipped in to a furore.
So it’s not surprising that the few posters that did make it off the printing press have become collector items.  Although the above book is now Sold Out, you could probably track it down on eBay if you were that way inclined. But for peek at some of the content, head over to www.xratedcollection.com and feast on the exquisite selection of posters for titles like Girls That Do, Divorcee, Debbie Does Dallas and Spread Eagles.
