An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded International Six-Sheet Movie Poster (6sh; measures 81" x 81" [206 x 206 cm]) (Learn More) A Patch of Blue, the 1966 Guy Green interracial romantic melodrama ("A man... a girl... captives in their own worlds... finding escape in each other..."; "Based on 'Be Ready with Bells & Drums' by Elizabeth Kata"; "Written for the screen and directed by Guy Green"; about a black man who starts a relationship with a blind white girl) starring Sidney Poitier, Shelley Winters (winner of the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Elizabeth Hartman (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Wallace Ford, and Ivan Dixon 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 we have only previously auctioned one example of this international six-sheet, and that was 12 years ago! Note that the domestic U.S. posters for this movie have a very uninteresting image of Hartman smiling with a tiny inset image of Poitier (perhaps they wanted to hide how depressing the movie is, and also hide that it deals with a blind girl, because Hartman doesn't appear blind). But the international posters have a really striking image with a close up of Hartman wearing dark glasses and Poitier reflected in one of the lenses! Also note that this six-sheet was printed in 4 sections designed to overlap. Condition: very good. There is a foreign stamp in two of the corners. There is some darkening on the back of the part of the poster that was on the outside when it was fully folded, but it has little effect on the front, and otherwise, the poster is in nice condition.
