An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Orson Welles' Journey Into Fear, the 1942 Norman Foster & Orson Welles World War II (WWII) military crime film noir ("The master dramatist turns his hand to mystery... and gives the screen a new conception of pyramiding suspense. - The gripping, breath-taking melodrama of an American engineer in the Middle East, possessing a secret the Nazis want... snared by a night club beauty, stalked by a ruthless killer whose relentless menace mounts terror by terror to one of the most thrilling climaxes on the screen."; "Screen Play by Orson Welles and Joseph Cotten"; "From the Novel by Eric Ambler"; about a U.S. Navy engineer who ends up pursued by Nazi agents while on a ship during World War II and he is involved with the mysterious Colonel Haki, who may or may not be helping him) starring Joseph Cotten, Dolores Del Rio, Ruth Warrick, Agnes Moorehead, Jack Durant, Everett Sloane, and Orson Welles (as Colonel Haki, a character who appeared again in the 1944 film The Mask of Dimitrios). Note that there is much about this movie that is shrouded in mystery! It was made while RKO was learning how poorly Citizen Kane and The Magnificent Ambersons were doing, and by the time it was released, Welles had been fired. Before it was completed, Welles was ordered to re-cut the beginning and end, to shoot more material, and to add a voice-over by Joseph Cotten! It is a certainty that Welles was the producer and co-screenwriter with Joseph Cotten, but many people believe that Welles actually directed it as well, although others think he only directed parts of it (Welles himself said that he did not direct any of it, but he was known to not always tell the truth!).

Important Added Info: Note that first release U.S. poster material from this movie is extremely rare! Over our many years of auctioning, we have only sold a very few first release posters, and we have never before had this insert! Also note that, as described above, RKO fired Orson Welles at the time this movie was about to be released, and they were clearly angry with him, because while his name appears as producer and star, his image does not appear on this poster, or any of the other first release posters we have seen! 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: good to very good. The poster has surface paper loss across the top foldline, but it is not separated, and there is no tape on the back of it. There are tape stains around the edges of the poster, with some creases, smudges, and small stains. There is a long vertical scuff mark in the lower left of the image, with a few creases and scuffs scattered throughout (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
