An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked English Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 40" x 78 1/4" [102 x 199 cm]) (Learn More) Robbery Under Arms (released in the U.S. in 1958), the 1957 Jack Lee English Australia Outback robbery-gone-wrong action thriller ("From the novel by Rolf Bolderwood entitled 'Robbery Under Arms'"; about Australian brothers who intend to go to work in a gold mine, but they get mixed up with a gang of crooks who stage a daring robbery, and the authorities track them to their hideout where there is a bloody resolution) starring Peter Finch, Ronald Lewis, Maureen Swanson, David McCallum (in his fourth credited movie role!), Jill Ireland (in one of her very first important roles!), Laurence Naismith, Jean Anderson, Vincent Ball, Ursula Finlay, Johnny Cadell, Larry Taylor, and Russell Napier. Note that at the time of the making of this movie, Jill Ireland was married to David McCallum. They remained married for another 9 years, when she divorced and married Charles Bronson (oddly, McCallum had introduced her to Charles Bronson during the filming of "The Great Escape", a movie that featured both McCallum and Bronson!). Note that this movie was based on one of Australia's best loved books (it was first published in 1882 and has never gone out of print!). A bunch of top English actors traveled halfway across the world to Australia to film it on location, and the ending was changed from the book to give it a really violent resolution (which proved to be a tremendous audience pleaser)!

Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this English movie and we have never auctioned it before! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had small paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases, tears, and tiny paper loss on parts of some foldlines. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster). Also, note that the person who owned the poster kept it rolled the reverse way from how three-sheets are normally rolled (with the image on the outside), so we will send it to the new owner that way.
