The Frightened City, the 1961 (released in the U.S. in 1962) John Lemont English crime thriller ("Untouchable by the law... Until they declare war... On each other!"; "The secret syndicate of big time crime takes over... 'The Frightened City!'"; "A city terrorised by it's own evil!"; "Crime's inner circle declares war... on each other! The crossfire of gangland turns THE FRIGHTENED CITY into a mob jungle!"; "THE FRIGHTENED CITY, where the pay-off is dames... dollars... or death!"; "These are the Crime Makers! ...dealing in vice, violence and a vicious plot to take over!"; "The men... the women... the evil... of a city's underworld!"; "Screenplay by Leigh Vance"; "Original story by Leigh Vance and John Lemont"; about a small time thief who gets a chance to join big time mobsters, but then starts to regret his decision, but it is too late, or is it?) starring Herbert Lom, John Gregson, Sean Connery (pre-James Bond!), Alfred Marks, and Yvonne Romain. Note that this movie was widely released beginning in 1962 in the U.S. and other countries AFTER Sean Connery's success in Dr. No, and he was billed as "James Bond Agent 007" on the posters!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we have only auctioned two examples of this poster before! Also note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this English movie! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Also, note that when this movie was shown AFTER Dr. No came out in 1962, large snipes were created by the studio to go over the credits of some posters, moving Sean Connery from third billing to giant top billing! This poster has one of those snipes.

Condition: very good. The poster has minor fold and border wear. Note that this poster was used after Dr. No came out and has a large corrective credit snipe glued over the original top credits (see above). Depending on how you look at it, this is either a cool addition or a detraction. Please keep this in mind before bidding. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it displays well!
