An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Thirty by Forty Movie Poster (30x40; measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Revolt in the Big House, the 1958 R.G. Springsteen jail prison escape convict crime thriller ("The raging violence of 2000 caged men!") starring Gene Evans, Robert 'Bobby' Blake, Timothy Carey, John Qualen, Sam Edwards, and John Dennis. Note that this movie instructed the public in "convict-made weapons", which included "shivs" (homemade knives), revolvers ("made out of wood or soap"), and metal whips (a chain covered with heavy leather). The producers of the movie urged theater owners to make some of these "convict-made weapons" and display them in their window or lobby! 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 this 30x40 has a silkscreen printed poster with an actual photo and artwork area which has neatly been "tipped in" (glued to the upper right of the poster). This is how almost all 30x40s were made at this time! Paper banners were also commonly made in this way at that time, and it makes for a striking poster, and few people would realize that it is not printed on a single piece, unless they examine the poster closely. Note that the silkscreen portions of this poster usually pick up scuff marks far more easily than other posters of this period (this was caused by the method of silkscreen printing, and is very common on these posters, and is not considered a major defect, unless it is very noticeable or distracting). Condition: very good. There are some minor creases, scuff marks, and smudges scattered throughout the poster (mostly around the edges). There is an NSS stamp in the upper left and right edges of the poster. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
