An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (Spanish/US 1sh; printed in the U.S. for use with Spanish speaking audiences; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) State Secret (released in the U.S. as "The Great Man-Hunt" and also under its original title), the 1950 Sidney Gilliat English crime suspense thriller ("Adventure sweeping across a continent!"; "Suddenly - they closed in and the chase was on..."; "HE knew too much to live!") starring Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Glynis Johns, Jack Hawkins, Herbert Lom, and Walter Rilla. Note that this movie was released in the U.S. in 1950 under its original title of "State Secret". Apparently, someone at Columbia Pictures decided the movie needed a more descriptive (or more exciting) title, and so new posters were printed in 1950 which give it the new title of "The Great Man-Hunt", and they add "Formerly Titled State Secret", probably so that fans of the original title would not be confused. Since both posters have the same 1950 NSS number, we consider them both to be first release, even though the one poster precedes the other by a short amount of time.

Important Added Info: Note that this one-sheet was printed in the United States for use at theaters with Spanish speaking audiences (this was done most by MGM, starting in the 1930s, but it was done by the other major studios as well, and often the posters would have the exact same image as the English language poster, except the writing would be in Spanish, and on posters from the 1930s and 1940s there would be an added "Toda en Espanol!", meaning "Entirely in Spanish!", printed within the image). Sometimes posters from the 1960s or later will have the word "SPANISH" printed in the bottom border (or sometimes stamped on the back of the poster). What IS linenbacking?
