In the clash of its giants among men, it is one of the most powerful adventures of World War II!"; "...now all the raw fury of World War II compressed into this one ship... these two foes... this unique motion picture!"; "'Morituri' means something unusual..."; "Screenplay by Daniel Taradash") starring Marlon Brando, Yul Brynner, Janet Margolin, Trevor Howard (billed as "Guest Star Trevor Howard as Colonel Statter"), and Wally Cox. Note that when this movie was release it was titled "Morituri," however, the movie bombed because many people misunderstood the title, thinking that it was some sort of horror-type movie instead of the spy drama that it was. The movie was re-released featuring the new title "The Saboteur: Code Name,'Morituri'," but it was too late and the movie bombed again anyway! 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 poster was somewhat tri-folded. What does that mean? Some posters were stored in a tri-folded fashion, but where someone took a group of posters and then tri-folded the entire group. This means that many of the posters have only a slight "waviness" one third of the way from the top and the bottom of the poster, but they are not actual folds. They are normally not very noticeable at all from the front of the poster, but they can be seen from the back of the poster, and they mean that the poster does not lay 100% flat. These "waves" greatly diminish if the poster is put under weight for a time, and become almost completely invisible. Most collectors consider them a very minor defect, much less of a defect than actual foldlines. Also note that this poster will be shipped rolled in a tube. Condition: good. There is a line of slight darkening across the top third of the poster. There is a tape stain on the back of the upper center, which slightly bleeds through to the front in Brynner's hat. Otherwise, the poster is in pretty good condition! Learn More about condition grades
