An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style A Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Stanley Kramer's The Men, the 1950 Fred Zinnemann post-World War II (WWII) romantic hospital doctor paralyzed veteran rehabilitation melodrama ("A completely new experience between men and women!..."; "More punch than 'Champion' more guts than 'Home of the Brave'"; "from the producer who dares to make pictures as they've never been made before..."; "Story and Screenplay by Carl Foreman"; "Produced by Stanley Kramer"; about a paralyzed veteran who cannot cope with his injury from World War II) starring Marlon Brando (in his very first movie!), Teresa Wright, Everett Sloane, Jack Webb, Richard Erdman, Virginia Farmer, Dorothy Tree, and Howard St. John. Note that United Artists was panic-stricken at the thought of promoting a movie about a paralyzed man (even though he was a World War II veteran), and so they promoted the movie with an image of Brando shown from the waist up (so you couldn't see his wheelchair!), and the really vague and bizarre tagline, "a completely new experience between men and women!". 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 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: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
