That's the bait that lures the pugs!"; "BOGART tears the lid off the whole racket... The fixers and goons, the gangsters who get the gravy... While the fighters get their brains scrambled!"; "Bogey tells off the crooked fight managers... in a scene that packs a punch of a two-ton haymaker!"; "The most realistic fights scenes ever filmed! You'll see the ruthless racket-side of boxing... Blow by blow- swindled by dirty, degrading swindle!"; "'Mr. Fix' - who builds up a glass-jawed giant into a million-dollar contender for the title!"

WAIT TILL YOU SEE THIS ONE!"; "The fight racket EXPOSED!"; "based on a novel by Budd Schulberg"; Bogart is a publicist who reluctantly enters into a scam to promote an unskilled giant into a heavyweight boxing contender) starring Humphrey Bogart ("Columbia pictures presents Humphrey Bogart in his most power-packed role!"; in his final film), Rod Steiger, Jan Sterling, Mike Lane ("as Toro Moreno"), Max Baer, Jersey Joe Walcott (real-life heavyweight boxing champion), Edward Andrews, Nehemiah Persoff (in his first credited movie role!), and Herbie Faye 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 30x40 is a silkscreen printed poster with an actual color image which has neatly been "tipped in" (glued to the upper right corner of the poster). This is how almost all 30x40s were made at this time! Paper banners were also commonly made in this way at that time, and it makes for a striking poster, and few people would realize that it is not printed on a single piece, unless they examine the poster closely. Note that the silkscreen portions of this poster usually pick up scuff marks far more easily than other posters of this period (this was caused by the method of silkscreen printing, and is very common on these posters, and is not considered a major defect, unless it is very noticeable or distracting). Condition: good. The poster was never folded. It has some creases and scuffs scattered throughout and lots of them in the top 2" of the poster. There are some small tears, creases, and slight darkening in the other three borders. Learn More about condition grades
