A 1966 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Folded Italian Two-Panel (known in Italy as a "4 Fogli") Movie Poster (2p; measures 55" x 78" [140 x 198 cm]) (Learn More) Iron Man, the 1951 Joseph Pevney boxing sports melodrama ("He's all man in the ring - or anywhere!"; "She bought his deadly fist with kisses - and sold them for cash!"; "He's all man... in the ring - or anywhere"; "Based on the story by William R. Burnett") starring Jeff Chandler (in the title role as the Iron Man, Coke Mason), Evelyn Keyes, Stephen McNally, Rock Hudson (very young in this role!), and Joyce Holden NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is one of the wildest cases of misleading advertising ever! When the movie was first released, Rock Hudson was fourth billed and was not pictured on any of the U.S. posters. But after he became a major star in the 1960s, some enterprising Italian distributor re-released the movie in 1966 as though Rock Hudson was the star (and likely tried to pass it off as a brand new movie!). No mention at all of the real stars Jeff Chandler and Evelyn Keyes. I bet Italian moviegoers were mystified and angry when they started watching the movie and realized how they had been tricked! Note that this Italian two-panel was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
