An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) The Carpetbaggers, the 1964 Edward Dmytryk fictional biographical millionaire tycoon melodrama ("It is unlikely that you will experience in a lifetime all that you will see in... The Carpetbaggers"; "This is adult entertainment!"; "Based on the novel 'The Carpetbaggers' by Harold Robbins"; obviously based on the life of Howard Hughes, but taking great liberties with the facts and small details of his life!) starring George Peppard (as Jason Cord), Alan Ladd (as Nevada Smith; in his final movie role), Robert Cummings (billed as "Bob Cummings"), Martha Hyer, Elizabeth Ashley, Lew Ayres, Martin Balsam, Ralph Taeger, Archie Moore, and Carroll Baker ("as Rina" Marlowe). Note that Alan Ladd made such an impression in this movie in his supporting role as Nevada Smith that a "prequel" to this movie was made. It was originally supposed to feature Ladd but his death by an accidental alcohol and barbiturate overdose forced the studio to recast Steve McQueen as the young Nevada Smith!

Important Added Info: Note that there is a paper snipe glued below the right of the image (it replaces the original bizarre tagline which said, "THIS IS AN ADULT PICTURE. Parents should exercise discretion in permitting the immature to see it."). Also note that this poster has never been machine folded! Most half-sheet posters were folded once horizontally and once vertically right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded copy of most half-sheets, especially from before 1970! Condition: fine. This poster is in REALLY nice condition (what many dealers would describe as "fine" or "near mint")! It has NEVER BEEN FOLDED, and has only the very most minor of defects! We only put this "fine" grade on less than 1 in 7 of the posters we are selling. We saved it for the very best ones, ones that we thought would be acceptable to EVERY collector, no matter how condition conscious they are! Learn More about condition grades
