I Passed For White (released in other English-speaking countries as "Leila"), the 1960 Fred M. Wilcox romantic race relations melodrama ("I look white... I married white... Now I must live with a secret that can destroy us both!"; "Can she pass for white? The mirror says 'yes!' What man knows the color of love?"; "The color of my skin is all I've kept from my husband... Will the truth make him leave or will he still love me?"; "Their marriage was a living lie... Like the color line she crossed!"; "When he took her in his arms she had crossed the color line..."; "The explosive story of the girl who confesses..."; "The taboo subject that has been talked about... But never before so frankly revealed!"; "A story of daring proportions... Never before unfolded on the screen! Frankly... Fearlessly... Dramatically told... All of it!"; "A daring, shocking subject comes to the screen!"; "Now...Frank! Fearless! Bold!"; "Told with all the daring of the best-selling novel!"; "...from the explosive pages of the best selling book by Mary Hastings Bradley"; "Based on the novel 'I Passed For White' by Mary Hastings Bradley") starring Sonya Wilde (billed as "The exciting NEW star of the year! ...A fresh new personality ...an exciting new talent!"; "A new star is born!"), James Franciscus, Pat Michon, Isabelle Cooley, Lon Ballantyne, and James Lydon

Important Added Info: Note that this is the style A half-sheet for this movie. We are also selling a style B half-sheet elsewhere on eBay this week.

Condition: good to very good. There are five vertical creases in the poster. There are many creases, smudges, pinholes, and small tears around the edges of the poster. There are two pinholes and some creases in the upper lip of the central image. There are stain. Note that this poster has never been folded! Most half-sheet posters were folded twice (once horizontally and once vertically) right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded copy of most half-sheets, especially from before 1970!
