An Original 1948 Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The End of the River, the 1947 (released in the U.S. in 1948) Derek N. Twist English Brazil Amazon Jungle crime thriller ("They Lived... And Loved... by JUNGLE LAW"; "'There is only one law here - and I know only one part of it - the law of the gun.'"; "'There are treacherous currents at the End of the River.'"; "'Not enough gold to make our keep. Food exhausted. We'll start back tomorrow.'"; "A powerful melodrama filmed in the jungles of BRAZIL!"; "Produced by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger"; "A Production of The Archers"; about a Brazilian man who lives in the Amazon Jungle, and he goes to a big city, where he is practically enslaved and framed for murder, and in flashback, you learn what made him go to the big city in the first place) starring Sabu Dastagir (billed as "Sabu", as he was in all his movies), Bibi Ferreira (billed as "introducing Bibi Ferreira"), Robert Douglas, Esmond Knight, Orlando Martins, and Antoinette Cellier. Note that this was a very interesting but flawed movie from Powell and Pressburger. It was filmed on location in Brazil (including in the jungle!), but with all English actors except Sabu, and they don't look or talk very "Brazilian". Sabu had become famous in English movies in the late 1930s and then went to Hollywood, but his career was winding down in the late 1940s, and he made this movie in the hopes of it re-energizing his career, but it didn't work out that way!

Important Added Info: Note that all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson. Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked). This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "British Cinema". Condition: very good to fine. The poster has pretty minor fold and border wear.
