Secretary-of-State-confirmation melodrama ("Are the men & women in Washington really like this?"; "Otto Preminger spotlights the men and women of Washington D.C.. on the record and off!"; "Based on the novel by Allen Drury"; about the wheeling and dealing that is necessary in order to have the Senate confirm a Presidential nominee for Secretary of State; the process is worse today than it was in 1962, but in this movie, there is the revelation that the nominee was once a member of the Communist party and lied about it under oath, and a Senator on the confirmation committee is a closet homosexual Mormon from Utah, and he commits suicide when he is confronted with blackmail!) starring Henry Fonda, Charles Laughton (in his final movie role), Don Murray, Walter Pidgeon, Peter Lawford, Gene Tierney, Franchot Tone, Lew Ayres, Burgess Meredith, Eddie Hodges, Paul Ford, George Grizzard, Inga Swenson, Paul McGrath, Edward Andrews, Will Geer, Betty White, Tom Helmore, Hillary Eaves, Rene Paul, Michele Montau, Paul Stevens, Russ Brown, and Malcolm Atterbury NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that for unknown reasons Saul Bass created two different half-sheets for this movie that are extremely similar to each other (of course, once you look at them, they are clearly different, but it seems he could have tried to come up with a completely different design for one of them!). NOTE: In this case, the #1 in the title of this sale is not the style of the half-sheet (whenever we know the style of a half-sheet we list it for those of you who know which style you are looking for). In this case, the half-sheets from this particular set were not labeled, but because we are selling more than one poster from this movie this week as separate eBay sales, we needed to differentiate between the sales, and we did so by marking them "#1, #2, etc. Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. There are pinholes, stains, smudges, and creases around the edges of the poster. There are many light creases in the image area, but more so along the foldlines. There are smudges and minor stains within the white image area at left. Learn More about condition grades
