Or an answer"; "an entertainment with a great courageous theme reaching to new heights of screen dynamics with seven new conceptions of dramatic portrayal"; "Don't miss it!"; "All colored cast"; produced by Darryl F. Zanuck and Written by Joseph L. Mankiewicz & Lesser Samuels) starring Richard Widmark, Linda Darnell, Stephen McNally, Sidney Poitier (in his first major film), Mildred Joanne Smith (in her only movie appearance, as Poitier's wife), Harry Bellaver, Stanley Ridges, Dots Johnson, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Francine Everett, Frederick O'Neal, and Davis Roberts NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Paul Rand Important Added Info: Note that this is a much admired poster, and in good condition, it consistently sells for around $2,000 or more! Its really unusual design by Paul Rand was dramatically different from other posters of its time, and the person in charge of the ad campaign obviously wanted to make it extremely special, because they hired Paul Rand to do the one-sheet and 24-sheet, and they also hired Erik Nitsche to do several posters, and Saul Bass did the insert! Having these three great artists designing the posters has caused much confusion as to "who did what" over the years, but there has never been any doubt on this one-sheet, because Rand's name is printed under the image! One unifying image from the advertising campaign is the provocative handcuffs/bed image (first suggested by Bass) which he, Rand and Nitsche all used in their designs. Condition: very good. There is tape on the back of the top crossfold. Learn More about condition grades
