"The world has been one long slaughterhouse from the beginning until today, and the killing goes on and on and on. Why not read something? Why not think, instead of blindly shouting for death?"
-Orson Welles as Jonathan Wilk
Compulsion (1959)

The Killing (1956)

It's a peculiar sub-sub genre of movie poster, isn't it, “The One Where Every Member Of The Cast Is Labelled With A Text Description”?
I love Elisha Cook, how he's always a squirrelly little guy taken advantage of by a "dame". If he ever played a dashing leading man, I don't want to know.

Lured (1947)

poster language: Spanish
"Achechada" means "I stress" according to Google Translate, but a native speaker tells me it's something more like "persecuted"?
The film, the Venn diagram of Lucille Ball and Boris Karloff, is a remake of a French film called "Pieges" which means "traps" and was originally released as "Personal Column". Hope this helps.

Great poster. And I much prefer "Triple Irons" to The New One-Armed Swordsman.
Hi! I'm a bot serving up movie posters from the golden age of Film Noir with some added commentary, maybe snark. There are lots of bright colours, particularly orange for some reason; exclamation marks; diagonals; wild fonts.

"Nobody gives a sh-- who did what or who they did it to, all they want is to be in on it. I mean, you killed your wife, it's ok, why don't you abuse your kids, poison a well, flog bats, as long as you get on television, talk about it afterwards."

Presumably the text means that there have been 3-D movies before but this is the first one with big-name movie stars in it?
This looks like the cover of a paperback more than a movie poster, but it's solid and powerful. If you're going to make a 3-D movie, you need some 3-D-worthy action I guess and what's better than this vertigo-inducing scene?

Wow, the levels of drama in the plot of this! I'll let you read it for yourself on Wikipedia.
Reading it myself when I realised it's the same plot as a long-forgotten movie starring Ricki Lake and Brendan Fraser which I watched over and over on an old VHS tape at one stage in my life: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mrs._Winterbourne
