An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Paper Banner (measures 24" x 82" [61 x 208 cm]) (Learn More) Houdini, the 1953 George Marshall romantic magician escape artist magic stage performer biography ("Produced by George Pal"; "Based on a Book by Harold Kellock"; a fictionalized account of the life of the world's most famous magician/escape artist) starring Tony Curtis (in the title role as Erik Weisz/Harry Houdini), Janet Leigh (as Bess Houdini), Torin Thatcher, Angela Clarke (as Houdini's mother), and Stefan Schnabel 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 is an extremely rare paper banner. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! Note also that this poster is very long, but because it is not very wide, it can be sent in a regular size tube. However, it can NOT be combined with other rolled posters, and must be either sent by itself (or combined with other items that are exactly like this). Please bear this in mind before bidding on this poster. Note finally that the color inset image on this paper banner (see our image) was printed on a separate sheet and then attached to that area of the banner (this was commonly done with paper banners, and some 30x40s and 40x60s of this period). This is how the poster was created. Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. The left 1" was folded back at one time by the tipped-in photo. There are many creases and scuffs scattered in parts of the poster, more so in the credits area. The tipped-in image is not affected. There are many creases along parts of the borders, with a few small tears. All of this is typical of many paper banners of this time period. However, look closely at our super-sized image before bidding on this incredibly rare banner. Learn More about condition grades
