An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Belgian Movie Poster (measures 14" x 21") (Learn More) The Shrike, the 1955 Jose Ferrer New York City Broadway theater stage acting troubled marriage melodrama ("Destined to be the most talked about Motion Picture of the Year!"; "Every shocking emotion of the great Pulitzer Prize play!"; "All the startling intimacy of the Pulitzer Prize play!"; "'Don't call me a Shrike until you've heard my story... any woman would use whatever weapons she has - to hold the man she loves. ...And any wife will know why I did the things I did!'"; "Based on the play by Joseph Kramm"; about a Broadway director who is recovering in a hospital after an attempted suicide, and he is visited daily by his wife, who appears saintly to outsiders, but actually is a terrible shrew who drove him to attempt suicide in the first place!) starring Jose Ferrer, June Allyson, Joy Page, Kendall Clark, Isabel Bonner, and Edward Platt. Note that this movie was extremely odd casting for the very likeable June Allyson, and the screenwriters of the movie tried to make her character more likeable, which had the effect of hurting the underlying message of the movie. The movie would surely have been far better with the star of the Broadway production (also directed by and starring Jose Ferrer), Judith Evelyn, in the role of the wife.
