DESPERATE HOURS, THE (1955) 27961

Original Italian 4 Fogli Poster (55x79). Folded. Good Condition Only.

Original Italian 4 Foglio Poster (55x79) for the William Wyler film noir, THE DESPERATE HOURS (1955) starring Humphrey Bogart, Fredric March, and Arthur Kennedy. This film chronicles three escaped convicts who invade and terrorize a suburban household. Based upon a real incident, the film also featured Martha Scott, Dewey Martin, Gig Young, Mary Murphy and Richard Eyer. THE DESPERATE HOURS was the penultimate film with Bogart, who died in 1957. The movie had previously been a play on the New York stage with a young Paul Newman in the Bogart role. This was the last tough guy role for Bogart; he remarked at one point to director Wyler that he thought he was too old to play gangsters. With artwork by E. Nistri, this original Italian poster combines elements of art and photography. It is folded and in good condition only, with some tears, holes, and rough edges. It was used in a cinema in Italy, and really should be restored. Ask us about poster conservation services.
