An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style A Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) D.O.A., the classic 1950 Rudolph Mate (billed as "Rudy Mate") San Francisco California crime film noir mystery thriller ("A picture as excitingly different as its title!"; "In all the annals of police history there has never been a story like this - of a man who had 48 hours to find his own murderer!" "An exciting story of a man who had 48 hours to avenge his own murder!"; "'I want to report a murder!' 'Who was murdered?' 'I was!"; "For the first time in the history of suspense drama - ... You are given All the clues... exactly as the main character finds them!"; "... YOU meet the people he meets... share his dangers... his thrills... his loves!"; "... You hunt down the murderers... and are hunted with him!"; "... You will find this picture as excitingly different as its title!"; "Story and Screenplay by Russell Rouse and Clarence Greene"; about a man who discovers he has been poisoned, and he must catch his "killer", before he himself dies!) starring Edmond O'Brien, Pamela Britton, Luther Adler, Beverly Garland (in her first movie role!; billed as "Beverly Campbell"), Neville Brand, Lynn Baggett, William Ching, Henry Hart, Laurette Luez, Frank Gerstle, Jess Kirkpatrick, and Cay Forester. There is a mystery to us about this movie. Beverly Garland appears in her first movie and she is 4th billed, under her then-married name of Beverly Campbell (which resulted from a 4 month marriage!), but then after that, she had only bit parts for several years. How was she able to get a significant role at first and then why did she get no more for quite some time? 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 we have only previously auctioned one example of this half-sheet, and that was 5 years ago! Also note that the half-sheet was folded once in each direction at one time. Because the folds are such that they have not diminished over time, AND because the poster was folded down the exact center in each direction, then we MAY fold the half-sheet prior to mailing, if it reduces shipping costs, and if you do not also purchase other half-sheets that need to be sent rolled. So it will be sent either rolled in a tube or folded in a standard flat package. Condition: very good. The poster has separation at the top 3" of the vertical fold and someone put tape on the back of that area. It had a few tiny bits of surface paper loss in the right of the middle fold, with small stains and a tiny tear in the lower right blank border. Otherwise, the poster is in really nice condition!
