Original U.S. Half-Sheet Poster (22x28) Re-release of 1967 Fine Plus Condition

Original Paramount Pictures Half Sheet Poster (22x28) for the Cecil B. DeMille circus epic, THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH (1952) starring Betty Hutton, Cornel Wilde, Charlton Heston, and Dorothy Lamour. This poster dates from the re-release of 1967. This film tells the dramatic stories of trapeze artists, a clown, and an elephant trainer against a background of circus spectacle. DeMille toured the Midwest for two months with the Ringling Bros. circus-collecting anecdotes, slang, and behind-the-scenes ideas. Furthermore, the director, always demanding of his performers, insisted that everyone truly learn to perform the circus stunts they were supposed to be performing in the film. The popular movie was nominated for five Academy Awards and won two, including Best Picture. This original half-sheet poster is in fine plus condition. It was used in a cinema in Canada and it has a province of Quebec censor stamp on it. Colors are vivid.
