An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Cincinnati Kid, the 1965 Norman Jewison gambling professional poker card playing thriller ("He'd take on anyone, at anything, anytime... It was only a matter of who came first!"; "In the everything wild, winner-take-all world of The Man and The Kid, there was only one way to separate the men from the boys."; "Hear Ray Charles sing the title song!"; "Based on the novel 'The Cincinnati Kid' by Richard Jessup"; "Screen Play by Ring Lardner, Jr. and Terry Southern"; set in 1930s New Orleans, Louisiana) starring Steve McQueen (in the title role as The Cincinnati Kid; "The Kid..."), Edward G. Robinson (as Lancey Howard; "The Man..."), Ann-Margret (as "Melba..."), Karl Malden (as "Shooter"), Tuesday Weld (as "Christian"), Joan Blondell (as "Ladyfingers"), Rip Torn (as Slade), Jack Weston (as Pig), Cab Calloway (famous black African American singer and entertainer, who made many movie appearances as himself, performing, but in this movie, he had a rare non-singing dramatic role, as "Yeller", one of the poker players in the "big game"), and Kenneth Grant Sr. (in a memorable uncredited role as the shoeshine boy who lags dimes with Steve McQueen at the beginning and end of the movie). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Bob Peak Important Added Info: Note that this one-sheet has artwork next to the title which shows a human hand holding a 5-card poker hand. The poker hand is the one Steve McQueen makes in the climax of the movie, and it seems rather silly to reveal it on the poster! Note that all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson. Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked). This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "Steve McQueen". Condition: good to very good. The poster has very slightly darkened. There are some pinholes around the edges (some are torn or enlarged due to rough removal). Learn More about condition grades
