An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded British Quad Movie Poster (BQ; Quad Crown; measures approximately 30" x 40") (Learn More)

Thomas B. Costain's The Silver Chalice, the 1955 Victor Saville romantic melodrama ("'I bid you seek the lost Silver Cup~ for sin is rising like the swollen rivers...'"; "Warner Bros. present The Mightiest Story of Good and Evil Ever Told, Ever Lived, Ever Made Into a Motion Picture!"; "On the screen! The record-setting best-seller that has sold over three million copies to date!"; "The mightiest story of truth and temptation ever produced!"; "...for this was the time of Temptation, and this was the day of Sin"; "From Warner Bros. comes one of the greatest best-sellers of modern times! Read by over 25 million people to date!"; "Helena the Seductress who embarked on a wanton life of abandon!"; "Deborra the Innocent whose virtue tempted the tyrant legions!"; "Simon the Magician who brought the world to the brink of chaos!"; "Basil the Defender the slave who became the Champion of the Sacred Cup!"; "from the novel by Thomas B. Costain, a story of the cup of The Last Supper") starring Virginia Mayo, Pier Angeli, Jack Palance, Paul Newman (billed as "Introducing Paul Newman"; in his very first movie!), Lorne Greene, Jacques Aubuchon (as Nero), Walter Hampden, Michael Pate, and Natalie Wood. Note that Newman has regularly made great fun of this movie, often calling it the worst movie made in the 1950s, and when it ran on television, he placed ads in newspapers urging people not to watch it.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this British quad was folded vertically three times and horizontally three times (this being folded one time more than is sometimes done, but it is quite common with British quads, especially older ones). Because of this, this quad can be sent in one of our standard size flat packages (but if it is purchased together with quads that have not been folded in the same way, then it will of course have to be sent in one of our tubes if the other quads are unfolded, or, if it is purchased with other quads that are only folded once horizontally than it can either be sent in an oversized flat package, OR in a tube). But if this quad is purchased by itself (or solely with other quads that have been folded the same way), then the shipping can be lower, because it then fits in a standard package. But please realize that because this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time it is likely that the creases have diminished and therefore re-folding the poster will likely bring some of those creases back, but we leave that decision as to whether or not to re-fold the poster up to the individual buyer of this item. UNLESS THE BUYER TELLS US OTHERWISE, THIS QUAD WILL BE SENT ROLLED IN A TUBE.
