An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Six-Sheet Movie Poster (6sh; measures 81" x 81" [206 x 206 cm]) (Learn More)

Carmen Jones, the 1954 Otto Preminger romantic love triangle musical ("Something Really New! Something Truly Different!"; "Books and Lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein, 2nd"; a re-telling of Bizet's Carmen opera, with black African Americans in all the lead roles) starring Dorothy Dandridge (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; in the title role as Carmen Jones), Harry Belafonte, Pearl Bailey, Olga James, Joe Adams, Marilyn Horne (who provided the singing voice for Dandridge), and Marvin Hayes (who provided the singing voice for Joe Adams). Note that this was the first movie that Preminger hired Saul Bass to do the title treatment for, and he DID an image used on the cover of the pressbook, but he did NOT do any images for any of the U.S. posters.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this six-sheet, and that was 9 years ago, when it sold for $376! Also note that this six-sheet was printed in 4 sections designed to overlap.

Condition: fair to good. There are many tiny staple holes around the edges. There is some darkening on the back of the part of the poster that was on the outside when it was fully folded. There are also a number of paper tape repairs on the back of the poster and paper tape repairs on the back of several long tears in the end of Preminger's credit (see our image).
