She's too much woman for one man to handle... too much trouble from one town to hold... as 'Valerie'"; "No Body Ever Turned It On like EKBERG as 'Valerie'"; "She's too much woman for one man to handle... Too much trouble for one town to hold..."; "EKBERG is the hottest tornado that ever ripped through the west..."; "About a Civil War hero who returns home and is accused of wounding his wife and killing her parents"; "At his trial, he testifies that she planned to run away with the minister, and that everything was accidental, and the audience sees the events from his perspective, but then the story is re-told several times, each time showing the events from the person who testifies' perspective, and eventually the truth is revealed"; Clearly, this was a western homage to "Rashomon", although the connection was not mentioned!) starring Sterling Hayden, Anita Ekberg (in the title role "as Valerie"), Anthony Steel, Peter Walker, and John Wengraf 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 poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet 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 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Note that this item (and others we are auctioning in this set of auctions) come to us from the estate of Lee Sanders. Mr. Sanders was a nationally recognized projectionist, film poster collector, and union activist who passed away earlier this year, and the net proceeds from the sale of his varied and eclectic collection will be donated to promote film studies at the Besant School of Happy Valley in Ojai, Ca.
