Allen- Your post gave me a smile. That darned I LOVE TROUBLE 1 sheet......
Some of you who know me know that I am a pastor who lives in a church parsonage.
The poster collection that is on my wall is sometimes seen by parishoners. I
had
the I LOVE TROUBLE 1 sheet on the wall awhile back along with my other
treasures.
One of the older women from the congregation was in and after our appointment,
she
expressed interest in seeing my posters. As I led her through the posters
featuring
Doug Fairbanks Sr., Rudolph Valentino and various other greats (including a
smattering of film noir titles) I specifically stood in front of the I LOVE
TROUBLE in an attempt to
block the view of Janet Blair's not so subtly displayed endowments. It
worked, but that
was a close one!

Howdy y'all,
Recently, I purchased frames from Sue at Hollywoodposterframes, so I could
achieve a consistent appearance, instead of the mishmash of frames for my
posters. (many thanks, Sue)
This has led to an opportunity to display additional posters, which naturally,
has led to unforeseen issues. To wit ... I need to gain approval for
appropriateness thru the missus, 'nuff said.
Iconic (and I use the term loosely) posters plainly denied:
Night of the Living Dead, (and nearly any monster poster)
Nude on the Moon (and just about any sexploitation poster)
An example in particular: After getting 'I Love Trouble' past a cursory
inspection, I receive a rather terse question:
"Is that a gun?"
To which I replied ... "Well ... yeah, but it is small and you didn't see it
initially ... you think I could get a pass on this one?"
Soooo ... everything is flowing smoothly, we are choosing among available wall
space for an ideal location for "I Love Trouble" .... and then ...
"Wait a minute ... are those nipples?"
Aaaaaahhhh ... married life, we should all be so lucky.
P.S. I apologize for not having an image of "I Love Trouble" readily available,
long time collectors and dealers will hopefully visualize the poster.
P.S.S. If anyone would like to view a recent pic of the best looking, happiest
8 month baby on the planet, please reply, and you'll find that you can't help
but smile.
Regards,
