An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36") (Learn More) The African Queen, the classic 1952 (the movie briefly played in December of 1951, no doubt to qualify for the 1952 Academy Awards, but most sources list it as a 1952 movie) John Huston (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) English/U.S. romantic World War I (WWI) military adventure thriller ("Actually filmed in the splendor and dangers of the Belgian Congo!"; "The mightiest adventure ever filmed!"; "Based on the novel 'The African Queen' by C.S. Forester") starring Humphrey Bogart (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Katharine Hepburn (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Robert Morley, Peter Bull, Theodore Bikel, Walter Gotell, Peter Swanwick, and Richard Marner. Note that although this movie opened at the end of 1951, all of the original release U.S. movie paper for this title has a 1952 NSS number (but has a 1951 copyright date). 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 this poster has never been machine folded! Most insert posters were folded twice horizontally right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded copy of most inserts, especially from before 1970! Condition: good. There are small tears in the upper left blank border, and someone put a 1" x 6" strip of brown paper tape on the back of some of those tears. The bottom right corner of the poster had a 3" diagonal tear (extending into the red background area), and someone put a piece of brown paper tape on the back of that area). There is a tiny area of surface paper loss in the boat just to the right of Hepburn's forearm. There are creases and smudges around the edges of the poster. The poster is in better condition than the above makes it sound! Its defects are relatively minor, and the poster has had no restoration, and it has never been folded, which is a giant plus! If I owned this great poster, I would surely have it professionally paperbacked. After proper restoration, the poster would display fantastically, and there would likely be little paint restoration anywhere in the image. Learn More about condition grades
