A 1978 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Folded French Movie Poster (measures 15 3/4" x 21") (Learn More)

King Creole, the 1958 Michael Curtiz New York City Coney Island tough-kid-leaves-the-slums-but-can't-escape-his-past rock 'n' roll (rock and roll) musical (based on the novel 'A Stone for Danny Fisher' by Harold Robbins) starring Elvis Presley (as Danny Fisher), Carolyn Jones, Walter Matthau, Dolores Hart, Dean Jagger, Vic Morrow, Liliane Montevecchi, and Paul Stewart. Note that this was the fourth of four movies that Elvis made before he went into the Army in 1958. He made no movies in 1959, and the public so wanted to see one that Paramount gave this movie and Loving You a full scale double-bill re-release just one and two years after they were made, with new posters for each, and the tagline "Elvis Presley back on the screen for the first time in a year"!

Artist: Jean Mascii
Important Added Info: We have spoken with a leading French poster expert about this poster, and he tells us that he spoke with Rene Chateau (the owner of Rene Chateau Video, the original distributor of this poster), who says that "video" is part of his company name but that all of his posters are theatrical posters. Please bid knowing that this poster is a THEATRICAL poster, not a video poster. In addition, there are two versions of the poster. One has a black panther logo in the lower left corner while the other has an eagle logo in the lower left corner. The eagle logo is for the first issue of this reissue poster in 1978, and the black panther logo is a logo he switched to a few months later because in France, the eagle is associated with Napoleon, and he did not want that association! Therefore, the poster we are offering here contains the eagle logo and is from the first 1978 re-release and is much more rare than the ones with the black panther logo. Also note that this poster was folded across the center at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: very good to fine.
