Its Drama blisters the screen!"; "Sensational?... No, it's dynamite!"; "Hate is like a loaded gun!"; "Murder without motive!"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; based on the novel 'The Brick Foxhole' by Richard Brooks; very daring for its day; about a serviceman who while on leave kills a Jewish man due to bigotry; in the original source novel, the man who is killed was homosexual, but that was TOO much for Hollywood in 1947, and given that World War II was fresh on people's minds, changing the victim to a Jewish person made a lot of sense!) starring Robert Young, Robert Mitchum, Robert Ryan (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Gloria Grahame (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Paul Kelly, Sam Levene, George Cooper, Steve Brodie, and Marlo Dwyer NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfold and some creases, scuffs, and tiny bits of surface paper loss on the folds. It had scuffs in the center solid background area above the "ss" of the title. There was a tape stain in the center of the top border and some creases and smudges around the edges, with pinholes in the corners. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
