One of the movies that led directly to the Hayes Code that censored nudity and stipulated that no woman of this character would ever be seen to get ahead for decades to come. (Actress portrayed a completely amoral character as well as brief nudity who got ahead by any means possible).

Red Headed Woman (MGM, 1932). One Sheet (27 X 41) Style C. , Jean Harlow plays the vicious bad girl to perfection in this very racy pre-Code hardcore drama. Shes a classy gold digger from the wrong side of the tracks who sets out to break up a millionaire sons marriage and make it to the big time in high society. She wins her man but falls flat on her face with the upper crust. But nothing stops this redheaded vixen as she sets her sights on yet another well-to-do man. Whats incredibly audacious is her character never pays the price of her wicked ways as in later Code-approved films. The one sheet for Red Headed Woman features one of the most outstanding examples of movie poster art ever produced. Harlows face glows out of the red background in astoundingly vivid stone litho color making her appear to be demonic, which her character lives up to! This poster rarely appears at auction and this beautiful condition example and fresh copy to the market is only the third copy known. Prior to restoration, there were some small chips in the right border and there has been some very minor touchup in the background and one tiny spot on Harlows forehead. Dont miss your chance to own this spectacular rarity! Very Fine- on Linen.
