An Original Vintage Theatrical Jumbo Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Guys and Dolls, the 1955 Joseph L. Mankiewicz New York City romantic gambling Broadway dance musical ("It's a living breathing doll of a musical!"; "Samuel Goldwyn presents America's Own Musical!"; based on the play by Abe Burrows & Jo Swerling; about a professional gambler who bets an operator of an illegal craps game that he can take a beautiful Salvation Army worker to Cuba with him for dinner!) starring Marlon Brando (as Sky Masterson), Jean Simmons (as Sister Sarah Brown), Frank Sinatra (as Nathan Detroit), Vivian Blaine (as Miss Adelaide), Robert Keith (as Lt. Brannigan), Stubby Kaye (as Nicely-Nicely Johnson), B.S. Pully (as Big Jule), Johnny Silver (as Benny Southstreet), Sheldon Leonard (as Harry the Horse), The Goldwyn Girls, and Larri Thomas (as the sexy Cuban dancer who flirts with Brando in Cuba, and gets in a fight with Simmons!). Note that Sam Levene was the original Nathan Detroit in the first stage version of "Guys and Dolls", but he was replaced for the movie by Frank Sinatra, because producer Sam Goldwyn did not consider Levene a big enough name, and Goldwyn also refused to let Sinatra play Sky Masterson, who would have been wonderful, and instead Goldwyn cast Marlon Brando (which led to much friction between Brando and Sinatra)!

Important Added Info: Note that almost all the posters for this movie have the classic image of the four top stars walking arm-in-arm with the title across their legs. This jumbo window card, which we have never auctioned before, has that same image, but it adds the sexy image of Vivian Blaine in her cat-girl suit at the bottom left. There is no other U.S. poster that we know of with this image (the six-sheet shows Blaine in the cat suit, but does not use the arm-in-arm image, and does not show her a second time, as she is on this poster). Note that this jumbo window card is not "roll-able", because the paper is thick enough and it is fragile enough that rolling it would damage it. Therefore we will send it in a large flat package that measures approximately 24" x 30". Please bear that extra shipping cost in mind BEFORE placing a bid on this poster! Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has smudges around the edges, with water stains in the lower right border, and a 1 1/2" tear in the right blank border. It has just a few creases and scuffs scattered in the image (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
