Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Military One-Sheet Movie Poster (27" x 41") (Learn More) To Kill a Mockingbird, the classic 1962 Robert Mulligan (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) courtroom lawyer legal melodrama ("The most beloved and widely read Pulitzer Prize Winner now comes vividly alive on the screen!"; "Based upon Harper Lee's novel 'To Kill a Mockingbird'"; "The most beloved and widely read book of the decade now comes vividly alive on the screen!"; "Pulitzer Prize winner"; "The Pulitzer Prize novel that has become a legend in its own time is now a memorable motion picture!"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Gregory Peck (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; as Atticus Finch), Mary Badham (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film; as "Scout"), Phillip Alford ("as Jem"), John Megna (as Dill; perhaps based on Harper's friend Truman Capote), Ruth White, Paul Fix, Brock Peters (as Tom Robinson), Frank Overton, Rosemary Murphy, Collin Wilcox Paxton (as Mayella), Robert Duvall (in his first role; as "Boo Radley", who was described in some of the advertising as a "mentally-retarded recluse", which is completely wrong!), William Windom (as The Prosecutor), James Anderson, and Estelle Evans (as the maid Calpurnia). Note that for many years, it was believed that the author of the novel "To Kill a Mockingbird", Harper Lee, had only written this one book and never wrote another (she was childhood friends with Truman Capote, and most believe John Megna's character in the movie is based on Capote, and some believe that Capote helped Lee write the novel). But in 2014, it was discovered that Lee had written an earlier novel, called "Go Set a Watchman", before "To Kill a Mockingbird", but it was never published until 2015, and was published exactly as it was written, in 2015 (Lee was 88 years old at the time of publishing, and did not publicize the "new" book)! 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 is a military one-sheet. Military one-sheets were printed at the same time as the regular U.S. one-sheets when the film was first released. They were made to be used on U.S. military installations. Sometimes the poster has small writing at the bottom that says "For Distribution and Use at U.S. Military Establishments Only", and sometimes they just have "Litho U.S.A." in small letters in the lower right. This is one of the posters that says "Printed in U.S.A.". Condition: very good to fine. The poster was lightly folded in half an extra time.. Note that this poster (and 54 other posters we are selling separately on eBay this week) came directly from a man who worked at Universal from the 1960s to the 1980s. These posters were NEVER used in theaters, but were given to the owner as samples straight from the printer! That is why this group of posters contains many rare advance and "foreign" one-sheets, some of which may never have actually ended up going to theaters. Be sure to look at the other 54 posters from this collection, all of which will have this paragraph on them (we also are selling hundreds of one-sheets that are not from this collection, and those will not this paragraph on them).
