An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Australian Daybill Movie Poster (db; measures 13" x 30" [33 x 76 cm]) (Learn More) Guys and Dolls, the 1955 Joseph L. Mankiewicz New York City romantic gambling Broadway dance musical ("It's a living breathing doll of a musical!"; "Samuel Goldwyn presents America's Own Musical!"; based on the play by Abe Burrows & Jo Swerling; about a professional gambler who bets an operator of an illegal craps game that he can take a beautiful Salvation Army worker to Cuba with him for dinner!) starring Marlon Brando (as Sky Masterson), Jean Simmons (as Sister Sarah Brown), Frank Sinatra (as Nathan Detroit), Vivian Blaine (as Miss Adelaide), Robert Keith (as Lt. Brannigan), Stubby Kaye (as Nicely-Nicely Johnson), B.S. Pully (as Big Jule), Johnny Silver (as Benny Southstreet), Sheldon Leonard (as Harry the Horse), The Goldwyn Girls, and Larri Thomas (as the sexy Cuban dancer who flirts with Brando in Cuba, and gets in a fight with Simmons!). Note that Sam Levene was the original Nathan Detroit in the first stage version of "Guys and Dolls", but he was replaced for the movie by Frank Sinatra, because producer Sam Goldwyn did not consider Levene a big enough name, and Goldwyn also refused to let Sinatra play Sky Masterson, who would have been wonderful, and instead Goldwyn cast Marlon Brando (which led to much friction between Brando and Sinatra)!

The poster had pinholes around the edges, with a pinhole near the center and some scuffs in the solid red background area. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
