A 1958 Re-Release Theatrical Folded Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 cm]) (Learn More) Sergeant York, the classic 1941 Howard Hawks (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) World War I (WWI) conscientious objector biography ("Based upon the diary of Sergeant York"; "Original Screen Play by Abem Finkel & Harry Chandlee and Howard Koch & John Huston"; the true-life story of the most decorated soldier in World War I who was originally a conscientious objector; the movie was not made for 23 years after the fact because the real-life Sergeant York did not want to be glorified for killing, but he allowed the movie to be made as the U.S. entered World War II; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Gary Cooper (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; in the title role as Sgt. Alvin C. York), Walter Brennan (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Joan Leslie, George Tobias, Stanley Ridges, Margaret Wycherly (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), and Joseph W. Girard. Note that the real life Alvin York, who had not wanted to profit in any way from his fame, because he was a conscientious objector, had stayed out of the limelight from 1918 until 1941. But then, when Hollywood made this story of his life, he also agreed to both visit the set for publicity photos and also appeared at the premiere! 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 for the 1958 re-release of this classic war movie, the distributors decided to add the tagline, "MISSILES! JETS! TANKS!", even though the movie dealt with World War I, when there were no jets! Likely this was because in 1958, World War I was 40 years in the past, and Sgt. York was no longer a household name as he had been in 1941 when the film was first released (and even in 1949, when the movie was re-released). Talk about false advertising! Also note that this three-sheet was printed in 3 sections designed to overlap. Condition: good to very good. There are some creases and several tears along the foldlines that were on the outside when the poster was fully folded. There are some creases, smudges, and tiny tears on the other foldlines, and some tiny paper loss at some crossfolds. Learn More about condition grades
