An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded International Double-Sided Style B One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 28" x 40 3/4" [71 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Titanic, the 1997 James Cameron (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) historical romantic ocean liner sinking-ship disaster action tragedy melodrama ("Nothing on Earth could come between them."; "A James Cameron Film"; "From the Director of 'Aliens,' 'T2' and 'True Lies'"; "Winner 11 Academy Awards including Best Picture"; "Collide with destiny"; based on the true event; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Billy Zane, Kathy Bates, Frances Fisher, Bernard Hill, Jonathan Hyde, Danny Nucci, David Warner, Bill Paxton, Gloria Stuart (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), and Eric Braeden. Note that the recent discovery that the Titanic broke into three pieces and not two casts severe doubt on the sequence of events of the sinking as portrayed in this movie and several others. It now seems far more likely that the ship sank in a very short period of time, and that the passengers had little chance to perform any of the things they are shown doing in the various movie adaptations of this tragic event!

Important Added Info: This is a very rare uncut printer's test poster (often referred to as a "printer's proof")! Before a poster was printed in large quantities, the printer would print a limited number of posters as "test" posters. Because they needed to be shown to people at the studio, people in the art department, the stars, etc, they would print a number of test posters and distribute them to these people. Some of them would be fully trimmed, but often they would leave the color chart on the left edge of many of the posters, which added an extra inch to the width of the poster (which explains why the poster measures 28" x 40 3/4" [71 x 104 cm]). Once these printer's test posters were shown to the various people in a position to "OK" them, the printer would print the full print run of the posters. Not only is a printer's test poster far more rare than a regular poster, but it is also 100% genuine as there is no fear of purchasing a reproduction! Note that this one-sheet measures 28" x 40 3/4" [71 x 104 cm]. Also note that the poster is marked "International" on the bottom, indicating it was printed in the U.S. for use in non-U.S. countries. Finally, note that this is a double-sided poster. From the 1990s on, movie posters were often made in double-sided versions (for use in light boxes). If we do not note that a poster is double-sided (as this is), then it is single-sided. Note that the image on the reverse is a mirror image of the image on the front! Condition: good.
