An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Ocean's Eleven, the classic 1960 Lewis Milestone Las Vegas Nevada Rat Pack multi-million-dollar multi-casino hold-up gambling crime caper thriller ("That Big One!!"; "Nobody else would have dared it because nobody else would have the nerve!"; "You wouldn't call it a gang. Just Danny Ocean and his 11 pals - the night they blew all the lights in Las Vegas!..."; about 11 Army veterans joining together to rob five Las Vegas casinos at once!) starring Frank Sinatra (in the title role as Danny Ocean), Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford (the preceding were called "The Rat Pack" because they were real-life friends who socialized regularly), Angie Dickinson, Richard Conte, Cesar Romero, Patrice Wymore, Joey Bishop (who surprisingly was given very low billing, under that of Patrice Wymore!), Akim Tamiroff, Henry Silva, and "Guest Stars" Red Skelton, George Raft, and Ilka Chase. Note that several Las Vegas casinos agreed to allow filming within their casinos, and without that, the movie could never have been made for a reasonable price. This might seem odd, given that the premise of the movie was a massive robbery of the casinos, but it would be next to impossible to accomplish in real life, because Las Vegas is in the middle of a giant desert, so even if such a robbery could be successful, how would the perpetrators escape with the money?

There are creases and some faint stains around the edges of the poster, and there was a 1" x 1" area of paper loss in the lower right border, just touching the edge of the grey background box. Someone taped a piece of another poster to the back of that area with clear tape. There are creases at the bottom two crossfolds and some creases across the bottom foldline and in the bottom quarter of the vertical foldline, with a few tiny brown stains in the white background just to the right of the bottom quarter of the vertical foldline. THE POSTER IS IN MUCH BETTER CONDITION THAN THE ABOVE MAKES IT SOUND! The defects are almost exclusively in the blank borders (and just a few in the blank background areas at bottom), and there is no paper loss at all at the crossfolds. The creases in the poster will completely vanish during the linenbacking process, and after proper linenbacking, this great poster will look fantastic, and there will be basically no paint restoration within the image area, and just some minor touch up in the blank borders. I can't imagine a collector who would not be happy to have this great poster displayed on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
