An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded French "Affiche" Movie Poster (23x32; measures 23 1/2" x 31 1/2" [60 x 80 cm]) (Learn More) Trapeze, the 1956 Carol Reed romantic love triangle circus-performer high wire big top thriller ("The wonder show of the world!"; "It Happens There In Mid-Air... In All Its Fire, Flesh And Fury!"; "High high high above them all! ...In excitement! ...in spectacle! ...in fire, flesh and fury!"; based on the novel by Max Catto) starring Burt Lancaster, Tony Curtis, Gina Lollobrigida, Katy Jurado, Thomas Gomez, John Puleo, and Minor Watson. Note that star Burt Lancaster had been a circus performer for several years prior to becoming an actor, and he had done both trapeze and high wire stunts in the circus, and he is supposed to have done almost all of his own stunts in this movie! Also note that the movie has the characters attempting to perform a "triple" which they say had only been performed by a small number of people. In actuality, trapeze artists at the time tried to do quadruple jumps, but they couldn't have used that in the movie because it was so difficult to perform! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never auctioned this cool poster (with its mid-air kiss close up) before! Also 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: very good. The poster has minor wear on the foldlines and separation at the crossfold and very minor border wear. Learn More about condition grades
