An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) No Way Out, the 1950 Joseph L. Mankiewicz race relations crime film noir ("Is it a question... Or an answer"; "an entertainment with a great courageous theme reaching to new heights of screen dynamics with seven new conceptions of dramatic portrayal"; "Don't miss it!"; "All colored cast"; produced by Darryl F. Zanuck and Written by Joseph L. Mankiewicz & Lesser Samuels) starring Richard Widmark, Linda Darnell, Stephen McNally, Sidney Poitier (in his first major film), Mildred Joanne Smith (in her only movie appearance, as Poitier's wife), Harry Bellaver, Stanley Ridges, Dots Johnson, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Francine Everett, Frederick O'Neal, and Davis Roberts NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Saul Bass Important Added Info: Note that this poster is the only one that Saul Bass created for the No Way Out advertising campaign (apart from a trade ad). Erik Nitsche designed several posters for this movie, the one-sheet and 24-sheet was designed by Paul Rand, but this insert is the only poster from this title that has Saul Bass art. One unifying image from the advertising campaign is the provocative handcuffs/bed image (first suggested by Bass) which he, Rand and Nitsche all used in their designs. Note that the poster can be mailed rolled in a tube, but the original folds have not diminished from being laid flat, so it can also be refolded and sent in a flat package. That will be the choice of the winner of this auction. Condition: good to very good. The poster had an extra horizontal fold 1/2" below the regular top one and partial extra folds by the other two folds. There are some creases along the folds and a few smudges around the edges. There is a faint ink stamp in the lower left corer with three numbers reversed, surely transferred from another poster that laid on top of this one. The poster can be displayed as it is, or certainly restoration can be performed. Learn More about condition grades
