An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Style B Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) The Long Night, the 1947 Anatole Litvak romantic love triangle crime film noir murder thriller ("Love that promised the world... but paid off in bullets!"; "Bullets only kill..but love can hurt!"; "A boy betrayed by love defies the world!"; "Based on a story by Jacques Viot") starring Henry Fonda, Barbara Bel Geddes, Vincent Price, Ann Dvorak, and Howard Freeman. Note that this movie is a remake of the classic 1939 French movie, "Le Jour se Leve" starring Jean Gabin, which many consider to be one of the very first French film noirs, which themselves were inspired by 1930s U.S. gangster movies. The movie closely follows the plot and format of the 1939 original, which begins with a man barricading himself in an apartment with weapons and defying the police to capture him, and then the rest of the movie is a flashback explaining how he found himself in this deadly situation.
