MGM Original Insert Poster (14x36) Folded Good Condition Only

Original MGM Original window card poster (14x36) for the iconic American family drama, CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF (1958) starring Paul Newman, Burl Ives, Jack Carson, Judith Anderson and, of course, Elizabeth Taylor in one of her greatest roles. Taylor plays the beautiful and sultry wife of the alcoholic and sexually ambivalent young football player Brick (Newman). Brick is the son of an autocratic Southern patriarch who is known in the play only as Big Daddy, played wonderfully by the great Burl Ives. Jack Carson, Judith Anderson and Madeleine Sherwood flesh out the cast, as they work through the stew of Tennessee Williams' tangle of desires and ambitions. One of the great American plays, whose influence on the American Theater cannot be overestimated, is transformed into a remarkable film by director Richard Brooks. Maggie the cat is shown on the poster where her appeal is most apparent - on the bed. This poster was theater used and is frankly in need of conservation. We have priced the poster according to the condition, but we recommend either linen-backing or paper-backing for the poster. MovieArt Austin guarantees that this poster is an authentic, vintage insert card for this film. MovieArt Austin will sell no reproductions.
