A Streetcar Named Desire, the classic 1951 Elia Kazan (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) family relationship romantic melodrama ("...When she got there she met the brute Stan, and the side of New Orleans she hardly knew existed... Blanche, who wanted so much to stay a lady..."; "One of the scenes that make it so great!"; "Warner Bros. bring the screen all the fire of 'A Streetcar Named Desire'"; "Brando the original!"; "Brando the electrifying!"; "Brando the sensual!"; "In the role that made him legend!"; "Based upon the original play 'A Streetcar Named Desire' by Tennessee Williams as presented on the stage by Irene Mayer Selznick"; "From the Pulitzer Prize and Critics Award Play"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Vivien Leigh (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; as Blanche DuBois), Marlon Brando (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; as Stanley Kowalski; "Stan... mean, coarse, violent - and magnificent!"), Kim Hunter (winner of the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film; as Stella Kowalski; "Stella... who took a lot because she loved a lot!"), Karl Malden (winner of the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film; as Mitch; "Mitch... he fell for a wrong woman - and fell all the way down!"), Rudy Bond, and Nick Dennis

Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: fair to good. The poster is discolored and there are creases and smudges throughout. There is a small area of black marker in the NSS information in the lower right corner and there is an ink pad stamp in the upper left corner indicating this original 1951 first release poster was re-used for the 1958 re-release. There is a 4" tear in the middle of the top edge and there are several smaller tears around the edges of the poster with large brown paper tape repairs on the back along the top and bottom edges. This is the sort of poster that responds really well to professional restoration. It is likely that much or all of the discoloration can be removed through chemical means, after which the poster will look fantastic (although I think most collectors could happily display this great poster on their wall just as it is).
