There is also a poster for another film called "The Wildest," described as an "extra featurette." The black and white image captures the vintage aesthetics of the era, focusing on typography and promotional imagery. The setting appears to be a lively street scene with visible architectural elements of the theater, including signs that read 'Attraction.'
