An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Solomon and Sheba, the 1959 King Vidor romantic Biblical melodrama ("The mightiest motion picture ever created!"; "A motion picture so vast it sweeps all before it!"; "Story by Crane Wilbur"; "Number its sights in the thousands! The desert charge of the Pharaoh's chariots against the Israelite host! The fabled caravan of the Queen of Sheba! The sacred council of the twelve tribes! The sacrificial altar of Mount Gibeon! The exotic Sheban gardens! The seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines of Solomon!"; "For it was thus with her: she would dance and inflame her followers. and there were many men amongst them ...ready to appease their Queen."; "Thus was it said of the pagan... Sheba!") starring Yul Brynner (in the title role as Solomon; with hair!), Gina Lollobrigida (in the title role as Sheba), George Sanders, Marisa Pavan, David Farrar (billed as "David Farrar as guest star"; "With guest star David Farrar"), and Harry Andrews. Note that in 1958, Power was acting on stage, but he signed to play the lead in this movie, returning him to the swashbuckling type of role he had tried to get away from for so long. Ironically, he died of a heart attack while filming a dueling scene (he was just 44 years old). Yul Brynner was brought in and re-shot all of Power's scenes, but the studio tried to save some money, and you can still see Power in some scenes and long shots! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Gustav Rehberger Important Added Info: Note that there is an oddity about this poster! It has "(REG. DESIGN)" printed at the bottom. This is on almost all examples of this poster we have seen, and we know why! It is because a few theaters showed this in "70 Super Technirama" (a more elaborate process), as opposed to "regular" 70mm and there were one sheets printed for those few theaters that have a logo at the top right for 70 Super Technirama, with "In the sweeping wonder of 70 Super Technirama" within the logo. We have only auctioned a single example of the 70 Super Technirama style, and it is clearly extremely rare. This is not that style (it is the one for theaters that showed the movie in regular 70mm). Condition: good to very good. The poster was folded in half an extra time resulting in a light vertical foldline at left and right and there is some separation in the crossfolds. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
