Escort Girl (1941)

A vivid snapshot of mid-century American culture, Escort Girl reflects the era’s mix of curiosity, anxiety, and fascination with hidden nightlife. It captures a moment when poster art served not just to advertise, but to warn, entice, and spark debate.

This original US poster for Escort Girl uses bold reds, sharp black outlines, and dramatic illustrated figures to deliver the unmistakable style of 1940s–50s exploitation cinema. Its playful yet cautionary taglines and eye-catching design showcase the genre’s trademark blend of scandal, spectacle, and moral messaging, an iconic example of how pop culture once packaged desire and danger in the same breath.

A pair of nightclub owners run a string of escort bureaus where men pay for the "companionship" of young women. The district attorney sends an undercover agent to infiltrate the bureaus.
