An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style A Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More)

Shane, the classic 1953 George Stevens (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) family relationship cattlemen vs. homesteaders epic cowboy western ("There Never Was a Man Like Shane... There Never Was A Picture Like Shane!"; "Color by Technicolor"; "Screenplay by A.B. Guthrie, Jr."; "Additional Dialogue by Jack Sher"; based on the equally fine novel by Jack Schaefer; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Alan Ladd (in the title role as Shane), Jean Arthur (as Marian Starrett), Van Heflin (as Joe Starrett), Brandon De Wilde (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as Joey), Jack Palance (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as Wilson), Emile Meyer (as Rufe Ryker), Ben Johnson (as Chris Calloway), Edgar Buchanan (as Fred Lewis), Elisha Cook Jr. (as Stonewall Torrey), Douglas Spencer (as Swede Shipstead), John Dierkes (as Morgan Ryker), Ellen Corby (as Mrs. Torrey), Paul McVey (as Sam Grafton), and Nancy Kulp (as Mrs. Howells). Note that we all know this movie is an incredible classic, but it didn't look it at the time! Originally, Montgomery Clift was to play Shane and William Holden as Joe Starrett (that would have been a very different movie!), but the cast was changed when both those actors took other roles. It was filmed in the middle of 1951 but the studio was not pleased with it, and it was not released until 1953, after a long time of editing the movie by George Stevens. It opened at Radio City Music Hall, and was a big success! Note that Alan Ladd was 40 when the movie was released, and Jean Arthur was over 50 (ten years older than grizzled Emile Meyer, who played Rufe Ryker), and the movie revitalized both their careers!

Artist: Ercole Brini
Important Added Info: Note that this "style A" half-sheet has an artwork image of the classic scene from this movie where Ladd and Heflin work deep into the night to remove a tree stump! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: good to very good. The poster has minor wear on the folds. It was roughly handled while it was rolled, and it now has faint vertical creases scattered throughout. It has faint smudges and stains in the solid white areas, more so in the borders. It has tears in the right border that have tape on the back, with paper loss in the upper right border, that has a piece of paper taped to the back. In spite of the above defects, the poster can be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or certainly, restoration could be performed.
