Hamburg: Kinothek, 1976. Vintage lobby card for the German release of the 1976 Italian film. Kinothek stamp on the verso.

From the collection of artist and author Duncan Hannah.

Duncan Hannah was a key figure in the burgeoning New York underground arts scene, befriending Andy Warhol and his superstars, Lou Reed, Allen Ginsberg, Patti Smith, Salvador Dali, and many others. A graduate of the Parsons School of Design, his paintings were exhibited in the influential 1980 Times Square Show alongside work by Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, and several of his paintings are held in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Based on the real Salon Kitty, a cabaret and brothel used by Nazi secret intelligence to collect information on high-ranking SS commandants and foreign dignitaries during World War II. Heavily edited for its US release, with many political elements purged in order to market the film as a sexploitation production. Considered one of the progenitors of the Nazi exploitation genre.

Set in Berlin.

11.5 x 9.25 inches. Very Good plus, lightly edgeworn at two corners.

Blue Underground.
