An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Exodus, the classic 1961 Otto Preminger Israeli Independence epic ("Based on the novel by Leon Uris"; "Screenplay by Dalton Trumbo"; about the drive immediately after World War II by Jews worldwide to create an independent state of Israel that would accept any Jews wishing to go there, especially WWII refugees, and how they achieved that despite strong opposition from the British) starring Paul Newman (as Ari Ben Canaan), Eva Marie Saint (as Kitty Fremont), Ralph Richardson (as General Sutherland), Peter Lawford (as Major Caldwell), Lee J. Cobb (as Barak Ben Canaan), Sal Mineo (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as Dov Landau), John Derek (as Taha), Hugh Griffith (as Mandria), Gregory Ratoff (as Lakavitch), Felix Aylmer (as Dr. Lieberman), David Opatoshu (as Akiva Ben Canaan), Jill Haworth (in her film debut!; as Karen Johansson), Marius Goring, Alexandra Stewart (as Jordana Ben Canaan), Michael Wager, Martin Benson, Paul Stevens, Betty Walker, Martin Miller, Victor Maddern, George Maharis, John Crawford, and Samuel Segal NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Saul Bass Important Added Info: Note that when this movie was first released, window cards were printed that said "EXCLUSIVE ENGAGEMENT TICKETS NOW ON SALE" just above the image (this was part of the printing). After the movie went into general release, that sentence was dropped, and a tagline was printed in that area instead. Therefore, the window card with that first "exclusive engagement" tagline is the very first window card, and it is far more scarce than the "regular" window card. Note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good. The card had the "exclusive engagement" tagline above the image, but it was later used by a theater during the general release, so they glued a paper snipe over that area with ticket prices. It could be removed, but it would take a professional or talented amateur. There is other writing in the top blank area and smudges in the bottom left. Learn More about condition grades
