Its Drama blisters the screen!"; "Sensational?... No, it's dynamite!"; "Hate is like a loaded gun!"; "Murder without motive!"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; based on the novel 'The Brick Foxhole' by Richard Brooks; very daring for its day; about a serviceman who while on leave kills a Jewish man due to bigotry; in the original source novel, the man who is killed was homosexual, but that was TOO much for Hollywood in 1947, and given that World War II was fresh on people's minds, changing the victim to a Jewish person made a lot of sense!) starring Robert Young, Robert Mitchum, Robert Ryan (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Gloria Grahame (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Paul Kelly, Sam Levene, George Cooper, Steve Brodie, and Marlo Dwyer 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 is an extremely rare poster. We have only auctioned one in all our years of auctioning and that was in 2016! Note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster has general fold and border wear and some creases, smudges and tears around the edges that mainly affect the blank borders. There are some tears at left and there are tinier tears at the edges of the top of the vertical foldline and right horizontal fold, and the above-mentioned tears are backed with pieces of brown paper tape. There are some scuffs in portions of the darker-colored areas, but it is otherwise generally in pretty nice condition, and after paperbacking with some restoration the very rare poster will display well!
