Vintage 40 x 60 inch poster for the 1961 film. Rare in this size format. A mysterious woman offers a bellboy $2000 to marry her, only to brutally murder the justice of the peace during the ceremony before fleeing.

Very Good plus, with light overall creasing and minor edgewear, else bright and unfaded. See image.…
