UNGUARDED MOMENT

Original U.S. 22 inch x 28 inch Half Sheet Poster for the 1956 Harry Keller Thriller THE UNGUARDED MOMENT, based on a story by Rosalind Russell and starring Esther Williams, George Nader, John Saxon, Edward Andrews and Les Tremayne.

Esther Williams essays her first dramatic, nonswimming role in The Unguarded Moment. Written by actress Rosalind Russell, the film is a remarkably prescient tale of sexual harassment at the workplace. Williams plays high-school music-teacher Lois Conway, who inadvertently arouses the libido of problem student Leonard Bennett (John Saxon). Conditioned by his misogynistic father (Edward Andrews) to hate and distrust all women, the seriously disturbed teenager experiences mixed emotions when Lois takes an interest in his well-being. Before long, the teacher is being stalked by Leonard day and night. Ultimately, the boy forces himself upon Lois — whereupon the all-male school board, holding Lois responsible for Leonard’s behavior, promptly suspends her. With the help of understanding police lieutenant Harry Graham (George Nader), Lois does her best to fend off future attacks, to seek professional help for the maladjusted Leonard, and to keep from suffering a nervous breakdown herself!

The poster is in fine folded condition.
