The Set-Up (released in some countries as "Knockout"), the classic 1949 Robert Wise boxing sports melodrama ("The Sensational Picture You've Been Hearing and Reading About!"; "The Sensational Picture You've Been Hearing About!"; "'I want a man ...not a human punching bag!'"; "Glaring lights or dark alley... he can't get away!"; "'Don't win,' they warned, 'or you'll lose your life!"; "For every scar on his face, she wore two on her heart!"; "For $30... Smashed in the ring... Hunted in the alley!"; about an aging boxer who refuses to take a dive; to my mind, the best movie about boxing ever made!) starring Robert Ryan, Audrey Totter, George Tobias, Alan Baxter, Wallace Ford, Edwin Max, James Edwards, David Freese, and Phillip Pine

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 first release Argentinean poster, and that was 9 years ago. That poster has now been reconsigned to us, so it is still the only example we have ever auctioned!

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had small paper loss at the bottom crossfold and tiny paper loss at the other two crossfolds. It had some minor wear on the borders. It had pinholes, smudges, and a few stains around the edges. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
