They Were Expendable, the 1945 John Ford (billed as "John Ford Captain U.S.N.R.") & Robert Montgomery World War II (WWII) military patrol torpedo PT boat Naval Navy melodrama ("MGM presents one of the greatest pictures of all times"; "The book that thrilled millions"; "Based on the book by William L.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 insert posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 insert posters (note that most post-1970 inserts were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those inserts).

Condition: very good. There are some smudges, scuff marks, and minor creases throughout the poster (more so around the edges). There is an approximately 3/4" tear in the left and right of the bottom edge of the poster (both repaired with pieces of conservation tape from the back). There is a small stain in the upper left blank corner of the poster. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it displays well from a reasonable viewing distance, but of course if one chose to have it restored it would look fantastic!
