An Original 1946 (from the first release of this movie in Australia) Vintage Theatrical Folded Australian Daybill Movie Poster (db; measures 14" x 30" [36 x 76 cm]) (Learn More) The Big Shot, the 1942 Lewis Seiler crime film noir ("'The Big Shot' Returns! Up from the gutter to make Gangland shudder!"; "Humphrey Bogart as the last of the Racket Barons.... The Big Shot of 'em all! The saga of the rise and fall of a gang lord and his lady!"; about a criminal who is a "two time loser", and his crooked lawyer wants him to take part in a robbery, but he knows getting caught would mean life in prison, so he refuses, but he ends up framed for the crime anyway) starring Humphrey Bogart, Irene Manning, Richard Travis, Susan Peters, Stanley Ridges, and Joe Downing. Note that this was the last film in which Bogart played a gangster (a part he had played many times!). The following movie he made was "Casablanca", which of course made him a giant star and drastically changed the roles he was able to take (and he showed his great diversity as an actor)!

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned three examples of this Australian daybill, and only one in the last 17 years (it sold for $545)! Condition: very good. The poster has a thin strip of paper loss near the middle of the right blank border, but only blank white paper is affected. It has some tiny brown dot stains scattered in parts of the blank borders. The poster has two extra horizontal folds 2" above and below the regular top and bottom folds. It has a few creases and scuffs scattered in the center, including in the middle of the gun, where there is a 1/2" vertical tear. The poster can certainly be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or a simple linenbacking would correct the above minor defects. Learn More about condition grades
