An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

The Fat Man, the 1951 William Castle detective mystery circus crime thriller ("Radio's Great Detective... NOW the Screen's Super Sleuth!"; "Radio's Original Fat Man") starring J. Scott Smart (in the title role as Detective Brad Runyon, known as "The Fat Man"), Julie London, Rock Hudson (very young in this role, and third billed!), Clinton Sundberg, and Emmett Kelly (billed as "introducing The World Famous Clown Emmett Kelly"). Note that the characters in this movie came from a story by Dashiell Hammett, who had of course much earlier created the characters in "The Thin Man" series, which had proved extraordinarily popular in the movies. Unfortunately, "The Fat Man" did not have the same appeal as "The Thin Man"!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Condition: fair to good. There is MUCH separation, small tears and tattering along the upper horizontal fold and much of the vertical fold (which is mostly held together by two pieces of tape which have bled through to the front at center.) There are small tears, pinholes and creases around the edges (some of which has been repaired with tape from the back) and there is a yellowed piece of tape at upper left with some paper loss at lower center.
