An Original 1949 (from the first release of this movie in Spain) Vintage Theatrical Spanish Movie Herald (measures 3 1/2" x 5" [9 x 13 cm]) (Learn More) Kiss of Death, the classic 1947 Henry Hathaway crime film noir ("20th Century-Fox Sensation!"; "It will mark you for life as it marked him for... Betrayal!"; "Based on a Story by Eleazer Lipsky"; "Screen Play by Ben Hecht and Charles Lederer") starring Victor Mature, Brian Donlevy, Coleen Gray (billed as "Introducing Coleen Gray"), Richard Widmark (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as the psychopathic killer, Tommy Udo, who, in one of the cinema's most memorable scenes, laughs as he pushes a woman in a wheelchair down a flight of stairs!), Patricia Morison (while she was billed on the poster and listed in the credits, her scenes were cut from the film for being too shocking), Taylor Holmes, Robert Keith, Howard Smith, and Karl Malden (in his third credited movie role!). Note that when this movie was first released, 20th Century-Fox knew they had a very "special" movie, and they created a one-sheet that was intentionally black and white, with no white borders, which is very striking. They did NOT realize that Richard Widmark would become a star off of his portrayal of a psychopath, so he was not pictured on the one-sheet or the other advertising, and even when they re-released the movie in 1953, they simply reused the image from the 1947 one-sheet (oddly, adding color), and still, Widmark was not pictured.

Important Added Info: Note that when Spanish heralds have printing on the back, we picture both sides, but when they are blank on the back, we only picture the front. Note that we are currently offering a collection of 316 Spanish heralds, and this is far and away the best collection of these we have ever offered! It covers many decades and genres with many very popular titles. Please note that Spanish heralds sometimes are found with theater information on the back, and sometimes they are not printed on the back. Sometimes the ones with printing on the back have some "bleed through" to the front, especially in the light colored areas. If one of these heralds have noticeable bleed through, then we downgrade the condition (depending on how distracting or noticeable it is) even if the herald is otherwise in excellent condition (and it may be that all known examples of that herald have printing on the back, so it may only be found that way). Please look at our super-sized image of heralds that have printing on the back to see how much it affects the front (if at all). When you look at the super-sized image, you may notice that the image appears somewhat "blurry". This is because we are taking a small herald and blowing up the image so that you can see the condition, but in the process, the image can become slightly distorted or blurry, so please realize that this is only the image, and not the herald itself. Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
