An Original 1948 (from the first release of this movie in Italy) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Italian One-Panel (known in Italy as a "2 Fogli") Movie Poster (1p; measures 39" x 55" [99 x 140 cm]) (Learn More) Kings Row, the classic 1942 Sam Wood (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) small town family relationship medical doctor romantic melodrama ("The town they talk of in whispers"; "From the novel by Henry Bellamann"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; a very strange movie about the goings-on in a small town; a mentally unhinged doctor intentionally amputates Reagan's healthy legs as a sadistic punishment; this is the movie where Reagan, after waking from the "operation" utters the classic line, "Where's the rest of me?") starring Ann Sheridan, Robert Cummings (Bob Cummings), Ronald Reagan, Betty Field, Charles Coburn, Claude Rains, Judith Anderson, Nancy Coleman, Kaaren Verne, Maria Ouspenskaya, Harry Davenport, Ernest Cossart, and Scotty Beckett NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Luigi Martinati Important Added Info: Note that the Italian distributor of this movie likely felt that a small town melodrama about very strange people would not "play well" in Italy, and instead they solely used a giant image of sexy Ann Sheridan's head looming over the source novel, with blood literally dripping from the pages, which no doubt "sold" the movie far better! Note that it is difficult to accurately date Italian posters, and some unmarked re-release posters can be extremely difficult to distinguish from first releases, so please bear that in mind before you place a bid. We used our best information to date this poster, but we can't always guarantee that the Italian posters we sell are not from an unmarked re-release, but this will only prove to be true in a very tiny number of cases.
