An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded British Quad Movie Poster (measures approximately 30" x 40") (Learn More)

Bitter Springs, the 1950 Ralph Smart Australian/English Ealing Studios Outback sheep herding Aborigine action adventure melodrama ("An adventure story of the Australian bush."; "from an original story by Ralph Smart"; about a group of English sheep herders who intend to take them into the Outback and set up a ranch at a waterhole, but they discover that there are Aborigines there who need the water badly, and the two sides clash, and after a killing of an Aborigine, one of the Englishman's sons is kidnapped, and things escalate from there) starring Tommy Trinder, Chips Rafferty, Michael Pate, Nonnie Piper, Gordon Jackson, Charles Tingwel, and Jean Blue. Note that the movie is filled with the culture clash between the white men and the Aborigines living in Australia at that time, and it treats the subject in a pretty even handed manner, giving time for both sides' views, but it is weakened by an artificial tacked-on happy ending that has the military come in and break things up, and then the Aborigines agree to work for the white men and share the land, which makes little sense compared to what came before. But it is still an important historical document of that time, filmed in Australia.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this British quad was folded in half an extra time, resulting in an extra set of foldlines (but, on the plus side, it means the poster fits in our regular sized packages, while a standard folded British quad does not).

Condition: very good.
