Jungle Street

Terrific artwork on this 1960 film poster picturing the night time illuminated street scene in Soho, London. The goings on behind the wall are revealed by the artist with a tantalising full length painting of Jill Ireland performing her striptease on the cat walk in the "Adam & Eve" club. On the floor above we can see two robbers drilling open the safe in search of the clubs takings. Terrific detail including "H. Cozens the tailor" shop sign and a couple talking on the pavement. Really strong atmospheric use of colour printed in England by Stafford & Co. of Netherfield, Nottingham and London. Great folded condition with no pinholes. This poster survived censorship and a short section of the strip tease was pulled before the granting of the certificate. This British poster found its way to a cinema in Denhaag and there is a stamp on reverse together with a censor stamp at the top right.
