HELEN OF TROY (1956) 5642

Warner Brothers Original One Sheet Poster 27x41 Folded Very Good Condition.

Original Warner Brothers One Sheet poster for the Robert Wise ancient Greek epic, HELEN OF TROY (1956)--starring Rossana Podesta, Jacques Sernas, Niall MacGinnis, and Sir Cedric Hardwicke. Warner's version of the tale of Homer's Iliad spins the story so that the Trojans are the heroic peace loving people trapped in a war with the bellicose Greeks. Podesta was new to American films, and Warners had high hopes for her, but her English was so broken that they elected to have her voice - and the voice of Sernas - dubbed. The re-release insert is curious because the poster makes no mention at all of leading man Sernas. Condition of this one sheet is very good, with some border tears, fold distresses and minor smudging. There is some small amount of brown paper tape on the reverse side of the poster. If you watch this film, look for a small role by a very young Brigitte Bardot!
