A 1956 Re-release Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 21 1/2" x 27 1/2") (Learn More) The Third Man (also released as "The 3rd Man"), the classic 1949 Carol Reed (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) English Vienna Austria crime film noir murder mystery mistaken identity thriller ("Cats loved him... And so did Women!"; "What a chase he led them!"; "He'll put you in a dither with his Zither"; based on a story "by Graham Greene"; "Hunted by men... Sought by women!"; "Presented by Alexander Korda and David O. Selznick"; about a man going to visit his old friend in post-War Vienna, and when he gets there, he discovers that the friend is dead, or is he?) starring Joseph Cotten, Alida Valli (billed as "Valli"), Orson Welles (even though Welles only appears in a small portion of the movie, he dominates it!), Trevor Howard, Bernard Lee, Paul Horbiger, and Hedwig Bleibtreu. Note that the musical score for this movie was by Austrian zither musician Anton Karas, and it was so memorable that they even made a tagline about it ("He'll put you in a dither with his Zither"). Also note that this was intended to be the first of several movies with producers David Selznick and Alexander Korda, but the men clashed frequently during the making of the movie, and they never worked together again. Also note that Orson Welles clashed with director Carol Reed, and reportedly, he wrote much of his character's dialog in the movie, and made other contributions to the script that likely drove Reed crazy!

Important Added Info: Note that this half-sheet measures exactly 21 1/2" x 27 1/2", so it would seem that it was surely trimmed. Yet the borders are very even, and the same size all around, so if it WAS trimmed, then it was likely trimmed by 1/4" on each of the four borders. Also note that the poster was dry-mounted to a piece of backing board at some point (prior to being framed). The poster CAN be removed from the board, but it needs to be done by a professional. Note that this poster will need to be sent in a very large flat package that measures approximately 24" x 30" x 1" high, so please bear the shipping costs of this very large package in mind BEFORE you place a bid! Condition: very good. The poster was folded prior to being dry-mounted, and there were creases on both folds and some creases and a few tiny dot stains around the edges of the poster.
