An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style B One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Sangre Negra (released in the U.S. as "Native Son"), the 1951 Pierre Chenal U.S./Argentinean black African American racial crime accidental murder melodrama ("The dynamite-loaded story of a negro and a white girl!"; "Now On the Screen At Last... Richard Wright's savage, terrifying best-seller Explodes onto the screen"; "I didn't mean to Kill her!"; based on the classic novel by Richard Wright; about a black man killing a liberal white girl out of fear) starring Jean Wallace, Richard Wright (as Bigger Thomas), Nicholas Joy, Gloria Madison, Willa Pearl Curtis, and Ruth Robert. Note that Orson Welles staged a very controversial version of this story on Broadway. It caused such a furor that Wright couldn't get any backing in the U.S. for a movie version of it, so he went to Argentina to shoot it with Buenos Aires doubling for New York and played the title role himself. It got very limited American release so any movie paper from it is very rare, and the U.S. and Argentinean posters have similar images! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. The poster has tiny paper loss at the bottom crossfold and tiny separation at the top two crossfolds. There are some tiny creases in the vertical foldline between the top and middle crossfolds and pinholes in the corners, with a few stains in the borders (see our image).
