An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Australian Daybill Movie Poster (db; measures 13 1/4" x 29 3/4" [34 x 76 cm]) (Learn More) Take the High Ground!, the 1953 Richard Brooks Korean War military thriller ("From its rowdy, ribald horse-play, to its rousing marching song... From its hard-boiled hates and slugging feuds to its tough-but-tender love story... this is a drama of our times... Exciting, exalting, young, brave and alive!"; "...with those great guys"; "High, wide and handsome entertainment!"; "Hear the famous theme march 'Take the High Ground' on M-G-M Records"; "Story and Screen Play by Millard Kaufman") starring Richard Widmark, Karl Malden, Carleton Carpenter, Russ Tamblyn, and Elaine Stewart 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 daybill was used by The Orpheum theater in Sydney, Australia that originally opened in 1935! The theater featured art deco design, two levels and seating for 1735. The theater was sold in the 1970s and converted into a shopping center. Luckily, in 1986, it was lovingly restored and re-opened as the Hayden Orpheum! Condition: good. There is a theater snipe glued across the top of the poster that adds approximately 3 1/4" to the overall height of the poster (the poster was not trimmed and the snipe could surely be removed by a professional restorer, or talented amateur, if one chose to do so). There is some creasing throughout the poster and there are some tears along the foldlines and around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
