A Place in the Sun, the classic 1951 George Stevens (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) romantic love triangle murder melodrama ("Screenplay by Michael Wilson and Harry Brown"; "Based on the novel, An American Tragedy, by Theodore Dreiser & the Patrick Kearney play adapted from the novel"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a poor man who dreams of having a relationship with a rich girl, and then it happens, but his ex-girlfriend turns up pregnant, and he considers killing her, but has a change of heart, but she dies anyway) starring Montgomery Clift (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Elizabeth Taylor, Shelley Winters (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Keefe Brasselle, Raymond Burr, and Shepperd Strudwick. Some film buffs collectively refer to Shane, Giant, and A Place in the Sun as "George Stevens' American Trilogy".

Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 insert posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 insert posters (note that most post-1970 inserts were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those inserts).

Condition: good. The poster has two long faint drip stains running down the middle left and middle right of the image. One runs between Clift's and Taylor's face, slightly affecting both of their faces, and one that runs down the left of Winters' face. There are smudges and scuffs scattered in the bottom inset area. There are some tears and a few pinholes around the edges. There are smudges scattered in the yellow background area, and some creases and a few smudges scattered in the top red background area. This poster has the sort of defects that respond really well to expert restoration. It is likely that many of the stains and scuffs can be partially or completely removed chemically, and after restoration, the poster will look great. But please bear in mind its significant defects and the cost of restoration before placing a bid on it.
