Original U.S. One-Sheet Poster (27x41) Folded Very Good Condition Theater Used

Original Columbia Pictures One-Sheet Poster (27x41), folded for the Otto Preminger directed musical film PORGY AND BESS (1959). Sidney Poitier and Dorothy Dandridge starred in Samuel Goldwyn's production of the famous George and Ira Gershwin opera. Here is a famous example of an important film that really can't be seen. The Gershwin Estate has reportedly kept the film from circulation for decades. The movie, which was directed by Otto Preminger, has never been issued on any video format. Sammy Davis, Jr. is seen in the role of Sportin' Life. Produced in 70mm Todd AO, the film had a troubled production from beginning to end. Added to the National Film Registry by The Library of Congress in 2011, the film remains one of the most expensive movies ever to be considered a lost film. MovieArt Original Film Posters in Austin, Texas guarantees that this poster is authentic.
