Secretary-of-State-confirmation melodrama ("Are the men & women in Washington really like this?"; "Otto Preminger spotlights the men and women of Washington D.C.. on the record and off!"; "Based on the novel by Allen Drury"; about the wheeling and dealing that is necessary in order to have the Senate confirm a Presidential nominee for Secretary of State; the process is worse today than it was in 1962, but in this movie, there is the revelation that the nominee was once a member of the Communist party and lied about it under oath, and a Senator on the confirmation committee is a closet homosexual Mormon from Utah, and he commits suicide when he is confronted with blackmail!) starring Henry Fonda, Charles Laughton (in his final movie role), Don Murray, Walter Pidgeon, Peter Lawford, Gene Tierney, Franchot Tone, Lew Ayres, Burgess Meredith, Eddie Hodges, Paul Ford, George Grizzard, Inga Swenson, Paul McGrath, Edward Andrews, Will Geer, Betty White, Tom Helmore, Hillary Eaves, Rene Paul, Michele Montau, Paul Stevens, Russ Brown, and Malcolm Atterbury NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Saul Bass Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare 1960s double-sided poster. It is printed on a plastic type of material. This poster was one of a small group of such double-sided posters that were found at one time. Other than this small group, I have never seen any of these 1960s double-sided posters before. Included in the group that was found was a "Breakfast at Tiffany's", which was auctioned in London, and sold for a HUGE amount of money! It appears that it was some sort of experiment that was tried in the 1960s and then abandoned, and not used again until the 1990s, when movie posters were sometimes made in double-sided versions (for use in light boxes). Note that the image on the reverse of this poster is a mirror image of the image on the front! Condition: good. There is scuffing across the poster at top and there are minor scuffs and scratches scattered throughout the poster. There is a small area where the paint has been scratched off in the title area at upper right and there are some areas of tattering and 1 1/2" and smaller tears around the edges that have been repaired with tape from the back (mostly in the lower left corner). There are smudges on the back of the poster but they do not appear to have any effect on the front. The poster has been stored rolled for a long period of time and it is somewhat difficult to unroll (although, if framed this would not be a problem). Learn More about condition grades
