This lovely poster

This attractive poster from the popular musical comedy starring Mae West exhibited tears, vertical creases, and small image creases. It was linen-backed with professional restoration to address these items, including touch-ups to the red credits. The white background and borders were meticulously airbrushed. Additionally, the poster bears the signature of Mae West.

May West returns as a flamboyant cabaret singer and not-so-dumb belle Ruby Carter. After breaking up with her boyfriend in St. Louis, she moves to New Orleans to perform at the Sensation Club, where she becomes the object of desire for both the club owner and the local male population. The original title of the film was "It Ain't No Sin," but it was discarded after objections by the Hays Commission. The film is notable for featuring Duke Ellington and his orchestra, premiering what would become a very famous jazz standard, "My Old Flame."
