Cast of Thousands."; "A flaming love story on a background of turmoil and revolt!"; "Based on the Novel by John Masters") starring Ava Gardner, Stewart Granger, Lionel Jeffries, Bill Travers, Abraham Sofaer, and Francis Matthews NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this one-sheet measures 27 3/4" x 41" [70 x 104 cm]. Note that all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson. Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked). This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "Pin Up". Condition: good. There is light rippling throughout the poster from exposure to moisture (however, it is mostly "felt" and not "seen".) There are a few very light patches of discoloration scattered in various areas. There is black marker writing on the back that slightly bleeds through to the front at lower center, just to the left of the lower crossfold. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
