An Original 1949 (from the first release of this movie in France) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked French "Affiche" Movie Poster (23x32; measures 21 3/4" x 30 1/2" [55 x 77 cm]) (Learn More) The Big Shot, the 1942 Lewis Seiler crime film noir ("'The Big Shot' Returns! Up from the gutter to make Gangland shudder!"; "Humphrey Bogart as the last of the Racket Barons.... The Big Shot of 'em all! The saga of the rise and fall of a gang lord and his lady!"; about a criminal who is a "two time loser", and his crooked lawyer wants him to take part in a robbery, but he knows getting caught would mean life in prison, so he refuses, but he ends up framed for the crime anyway) starring Humphrey Bogart, Irene Manning, Richard Travis, Susan Peters, Stanley Ridges, and Joe Downing. Note that this was the last film in which Bogart played a gangster (a part he had played many times!). The following movie he made was "Casablanca", which of course made him a giant star and drastically changed the roles he was able to take (and he showed his great diversity as an actor)!

The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfold and minor wear on the foldlines. It had pinholes in the corners. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but at some point after it was backed, it acquired a small black stain in Bogart's forehead and a tiny black stain in the right of the top edge of the poster.
