Your every exit is covered by sharpshooters. You've got a million dollars but you'll never live to spend it.'"; "How did they get away with it?"; "They've captured a train and brought the world's largest city to its knees." about a group of four men who plan and carry out an all but genius subway train robbery with every last detail planned out; "Based on the novel by John Godey") starring Walter Matthau (as Lt.

Important Added Info:

Note that this is one of 188 folded one-sheets in this Part IV of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction that were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson (we auctioned 993 of his folded one-sheets in Part I of this auction, and we auctioned his 113 unfolded one-sheets in Part III, and now we are auctioning his final 188 folded one-sheets in this Part IV).

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! After Part IV closes, we will have auctioned all of this collection.

Condition: very good. There is minor fold and border wear. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it displays well.
