An Original Vintage Unfolded Half-Sheet Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) the 1965 double bill release ("The greatest entertainment package of the year!"; "The Biggest Drama"; "The Brightest Musical") of Fannie Hurst's Imitation of Life, the classic 1959 Douglas Sirk racial romantic melodrama ("The color line won't stop me Ma! I look, feel, think white... And I'm going to marry white!"; "I'll get the things I want out of life... One way - or another, From one man - or another!"; "You've given me everything a mother could but the thing I wanted most... Your love!"; "Hear Earl Grant sing 'Imitation of Life'"; written by Fannie Hurst and "Produced by Ross Hunter") starring Lana Turner, John Gavin, Sandra Dee, Dan O'Herlihy ("as David Edwards"), Susan Kohner (in her nominated for Best Supporting Actress Academy Award role, as the teenage Sarah Jane, who is black, but is light-skinned enough that she can "pass for white"; actually, she was of Mexican and Czech descent, and she made just a few more movies and then retired in 1964), Robert Alda, Juanita Moore (in her nominated for Best Supporting Actress Academy Award role), and Mahalia Jackson ("singing 'Trouble of the World'"). Some people might disagree with my describing this movie as "classic", but I think it is hard to argue that this is one of the finest of its type of movie! AND Rodgers & Hammerstein's Flower Drum Song, the 1962 Henry Koster Asian Oriental musical comedy ("Rodgers & Hammerstein's most joyous hit lights up the screen!"; "Broadway's most joyous hit lights up the screen!"; "Based on the novel by C.Y.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: very good. The poster is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
