Attack!, the classic 1956 Robert Aldrich World War II (WWII) military action thriller ("It rips open the hot hell behind the glory!"; "COSTA he had the guts of a hundred men!"; "COONEY a frightened, quivering shell of a man!"; "BARTLETT a brass hat who played hard and dirty!"; " WOODRUFF up for a medal - and a court martial!"; "BERNSTIEN quick with his wise cracks and his rifle!"; "TOLLIVER he spoke as slowly and easily as he killed!"; "The story that every soldier knew, but none would dare tell... this is war as you've never smelled it... tasted it... seen it before. This is the raw, naked face of battle where not everyone is a hero... and not every gun is pointed at the enemy!"; "Told as hard... Straight... And dirty as war itself!"; "'If I ever lose another man on account of you - I'll shove this grenade down your throat and pull the pin!'"; "'I'm the commanding officer here...and I say we give up!'"; "'You go for those stairs, Captain - and I'll kill you!'"; "Stripped of everything but the truth - here is the fighting mad story of the flash-fused, fouled-up company the army called 'Fragile Fox' ...as real as the screaming steel that melted their guts... As acid as the fear that dissolved their bones... As relentless and powerful as a ten-ton tank!"; "Marching with the handful of battle pictures... No 'phony' glory, no candy-coated sentiment - but the raw naked guts of war grinding at you head-on like a ten-ton tank!"; "The war story so raw... So 'hot' that no one dared film it till now!"; "...the story of the flash-fused, fouled-up company the army called 'Fragile Fox'!"; "THIS is what Hell looks like!"; "This is the story every soldier knew, but none would dare tell... this is war as you've never smelled it ...tasted it... seen it before. This is the raw, naked face of battle where not everyone is a hero... and not every gun is pointed at the enemy!"; "From the play 'Fragile Fox' by Norman Brooks") starring Jack Palance, Eddie Albert, Lee Marvin, Robert Strauss, Richard Jaeckel, Buddy Ebsen, William Smithers (billed as "introducing William Smithers"), and Steven Geray

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this British quad was folded vertically three times and horizontally three times (this being folded one time more than is sometimes done, but it is quite common with British quads, especially older ones). Because of this, this quad can be sent in one of our standard size flat packages (but if it is purchased together with quads that have not been folded in the same way, then it will of course have to be sent in one of our tubes if the other quads are unfolded, or, if it is purchased with other quads that are only folded once horizontally than it can either be sent in an oversized flat package, OR in a tube). But if this quad is purchased by itself (or solely with other quads that have been folded the same way), then the shipping can be lower, because it then fits in a standard package. But please realize that because this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time it is likely that the creases have diminished and therefore re-folding the poster will likely bring some of those creases back, but we leave that decision as to whether or not to re-fold the poster up to the individual buyer of this item. UNLESS THE BUYER TELLS US OTHERWISE, THIS QUAD WILL BE SENT ROLLED IN A TUBE.
