An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More)

The View From Pompey's Head, the 1955 Philip Dunne interracial passing-for-white romantic melodrama ("'Do you think I go walking on the beach for exercise?'"; "Accidentally she stumbled on the truth - her husband was a Negro!"; "'You're my wife - nobody's got a better right to you!'"; "From the Novel by Hamilton Basso"; "Produced Directed and Written for the screen by Philip Dunne") starring Richard Egan, Dana Wynter, Cameron Mitchell, Sidney Blackmer, Majorie Rambeau, Dorothy Patrick (billed as "Dorothy Patrick Davis"), Rosemarie Bowe, Jerry Paris, Ruby Goodwin, and DeForest Kelley

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note the tagline in the lower right triangular-shaped inset box that reads "Accidentally she stumbled on the truth - her husband was a Negro!". Apparently, this was NOT something that many theaters that used this poster wanted to advertise, so many theaters taped and glued a piece of a brown paper bag over that tagline! This particular poster was NOT censored in that way, which difficult to find! Also note that the window card was folded across the center at one time. Because the foldline is not exactly across the center of the card, we don't want to re-fold the window card prior to mailing, because it would not fit in one of our standard mailers, and we believe that re-folding the window card would lessen its condition (we never roll window cards into a tube). If you specifically request it, we will re-fold this window card, but you will not be able to return it.

Condition: good to very good.
