It's Glorious! It's Great!"; "Introducing a new era in motion pictures!"; "Music by George Gershwin, Libretto by DuBose Hayward, Lyrics by DuBose Hayward & Ira Gershwin [Founded on the play 'Porgy' by DuBose and Dorothy Heyward]"; "Hailed wherever it has opened! One of the year's 10 best!"; "It's wonderful entertainment"; "It's One Wonderful Entertainment!"; "Originally produced for the stage by the Theatre Guild") starring Sidney Poitier (in the title role as Porgy), Dorothy Dandridge (in the title role as Bess), Sammy Davis Jr., Pearl Bailey, and Brock Peters 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 is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! Note also that this is a Japanese "B1" poster that measures 28 1/2" x 40 1/2" [72 x 103 cm]! "B1" posters are FAR more rare than "B2" posters (which measure approximately 20" x 28 1/2"), and because they are larger (similar in size to a U.S. one-sheet), they are more impressive when displayed on a wall! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster has minor fold and border wear and it was folded in half an extra time resulting in a light vertical foldline at left and right. It has a few creases around the edges and a few tiny tears at upper right in the blank border only (repaired with tape from the back). There is some slight discoloration along a few portions of the center horizontal fold. It is not very noticeable or distracting when the poster is displayed at a reasonable viewing distance, and while one could display it as is, after linenbacking the very rare poster it will look great!
