Auction History Result f152 MANPOWER three-sheet movie poster '41 Raft, Robinson, Marlene Dietrich Date Sold 6/12/2007Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Three-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 41" x 81") (Learn More) Manpower, the 1941 Raoul Walsh power-company-road-crew melodrama ("Here's that T.N.T. star-combination that had the news wires sizzling!"; "A Warner Bros. Hit!"; "The Sensational new Warner Bros. hit!"; "TNTrio!"; "All together") starring Edward G. Robinson ("He's mad about Dietrich!"), Marlene Dietrich ("She's mad about Raft!"), George Raft ("He's mad about the whole thing!"), Alan Hale Sr., Frank McHugh, Eve Arden, Walter Catlett, Ward Bond, Joyce Compton, Lucia Carroll, and Barbara Pepper. Note that this was the first time that Robinson and Raft worked together, and they had a very bad relationship on the set, to the point where George Raft physically struck Edward G. Robinson, and Robinson threatened to walk off the picture! Not surprisingly, they only made one more movie together, and that was 14 years later! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
