A Lion is in the Streets, the 1953 Raoul Walsh Louisiana romantic love triangle political melodrama ("He was king of a double-cross empire ..and the gutter was his throne!"; "The chiselers, the cheap tin-horns, the two-time ladies and two-bit crooks - They all made the little guy a big, big wheel ...and then he started grinding them down!"; " Flamingo--the bayou swamp-cat in skin tight blue-jeans she was his back-door queen!"; "Castleberry--a spotless record-except for the blood on his hands!"; "Jeb Brown--his heart was too big it made an easy target"; "Sam Beach - he was all brass - right down to his brass knuckles!"; "Guy Polli - a rat who squirmed through every loophole in the law!"; about a charismatic peddler from the bayou who finds his true calling in politics) starring James Cagney ("in a roaring role of fury from the roaring best-seller!"), Barbara Hale, Anne Francis, Warner Anderson, John McIntire, Jeanne Cagney (James Cagney's sister), Lon Chaney Jr. (billed as "Lon Chaney"), Frank McHugh, Larry Keating, Onslow Stevens, and James Millican. Note that this movie was clearly loosely based on the life of Huey Long. In 1949, another movie based on his life, "All the King's Men", was a major success, and this movie was made four years later, but it was based on a 1945 book.

Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets).
