Schaffner political Presidential election melodrama ("Does 'the Best Man' always get to the White House?"; "This is the public image!

And we'll use it!"; "'I'm with my husband all the way!'"; "I'll stay with you on one condition: No other women during the campaign!"; "Are you saying that the presidential candidate is a degenerate?"; written by Gore Vidal; includes a once-daring, but now painful homosexual subplot) starring Henry Fonda, Cliff Robertson, Edie Adams, Margaret Leighton, Shelley Berman, Lee Tracy (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Ann Sothern, Gene Raymond, Kevin McCarthy, Mahalia Jackson, Howard K. Smith, John Henry Faulk, and Richard Arlen 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 this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 insert posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 insert posters (note that most post-1970 inserts were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those inserts). Note that this item (and others we are auctioning in this set of auctions) come to us from the estate of Lee Sanders. Mr. Sanders was a nationally recognized projectionist, film poster collector, and union activist who passed away earlier this year, and the net proceeds from the sale of his varied and eclectic collection will be donated to promote film studies at the Besant School of Happy Valley in Ojai, Ca.
