Item Description
Issued by Excelsior Picture Corp. New York for film originally released in 1932 and directed by Tod Browning but taken off the market due to its shocking nature. Film distributor Dwain Esper bought the rights and traveled the country in the late 1940s showing the film under various other titles as well as "Freaks". Paper envelope is 11.5x14.5" with large "Freaks" title in center. Envelope is heavily worn around edges with some tears. Just Good but rarely seen. Each card is 11x14" and title card shows 11 different scenes from the movie. Text includes: "The Story Of The Love Life Of The Sideshow, Do Siamese Twins Make Love?, Can A Full Grown Woman Truly Love A Midget?, What Sex Is The Half Man Half Woman? Louella Parsons Says - For Pure Sensationalism Freaks Tops Any Picture Yet Produced. It's More Fantastic And Grotesque Than Any Shocker Ever Written". Individual cards have photos including Prince Randian the living torso, Josephine Joseph half man half woman, Zip and Pip the pinheads, and stars Henry Victor and Leila Hyams. Every card has great design with choice color and is in high grade N. Mint condition. Wonderful images of one of the most talked about movies in history. It would be hard to find a set in nicer condition.
