Pretty Baby Movie Poster, One Sheet, Original
Paramount Pictures, 1978. Item #037665
The film is set in 1917, during the last months of legal prostitution in Storyville, the red-light district of New Orleans, Louisiana. Hattie, a professional at the elegant home of Madame Nell, and Hattie's 12-year-old daughter Violet are the only ones awake when photographer Ernest J. Bellocq comes by with his camera. He takes photographs of Hattie and fascinates Violet. Over a few months, Nell arranges for the auction of Violet's virginity, Hattie marries and goes to St. Louis, abandoning Violet in the brothel. Bellocq continues to spend time with Violet, entranced by her beauty, youthful and photogenic face. When the brothel closes, Bellocq and Violet wed, ostensibly to protect her from the larger world. He is much older, however, and others question his motives in marrying her. One sheet movie poster, good condition, folded, original, tape repairs to the back.
