An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Solomon and Sheba, the 1959 King Vidor romantic Biblical melodrama ("The mightiest motion picture ever created!"; "A motion picture so vast it sweeps all before it!"; "Story by Crane Wilbur"; "Number its sights in the thousands! The desert charge of the Pharaoh's chariots against the Israelite host! The fabled caravan of the Queen of Sheba! The sacred council of the twelve tribes! The sacrificial altar of Mount Gibeon! The exotic Sheban gardens! The seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines of Solomon!"; "For it was thus with her: she would dance and inflame her followers. and there were many men amongst them ...ready to appease their Queen."; "Thus was it said of the pagan... Sheba!") starring Yul Brynner (in the title role as Solomon; with hair!), Gina Lollobrigida (in the title role as Sheba), George Sanders, Marisa Pavan, David Farrar (billed as "David Farrar as guest star"; "With guest star David Farrar"), and Harry Andrews. Note that in 1958, Power was acting on stage, but he signed to play the lead in this movie, returning him to the swashbuckling type of role he had tried to get away from for so long. Ironically, he died of a heart attack while filming a dueling scene (he was just 44 years old). Yul Brynner was brought in and re-shot all of Power's scenes, but the studio tried to save some money, and you can still see Power in some scenes and long shots!

Artist: Gustav Rehberger Important Added Info: Note that a few theaters showed this movie in "70 Super Technirama" (a more elaborate process), as opposed to "regular" 70mm and there were one sheets printed for those few theaters that have a logo at the top right for 70 Super Technirama, with "In the sweeping wonder of 70 Super Technirama" within the logo. This is that super rare 70mm Super Technirama style, which we have never auctioned before in all of our years in auctioning! Condition: good. The poster has small paper loss in the vertical foldline above the upper crossfold, slightly affecting Lollobrigida's hair and cheek. There is a 1" vertical tears in Brynner's neck. There are some tiny bits of paper loss in the center of the top horizontal fold. There is a 1" vertical tear in the bottom fold 1" to the left of the lower crossfold. There are creases, and faint smudges scattered across the top blank border. The poster was likely used in New Zealand and there is a New Zealand "A" ratings stamp in the upper right blank border. Someone in New Zealand scribbled with black crayon over the small image of the stars in the lower right blank border, and some of that black crayon transferred to the top blank border (below the "A") ratings stamp. In spite of these defects, the poster can be restored relatively easily and after a somewhat simple linenbacking this incredibly rare poster will look wonderful. Learn More about condition grades
