In the shadows of the Acropolis!"; "The unblushing tale of the best-proportioned prize in the whole history of Olympic gamesmanship!"; "Written by Vaslo Vadmay"; set in 1896 at the first modern Olympics) starring Jayne Mansfield, Trax Colton, Nico Minardos, Bob Mathias ("Twice World Olympic Decathlon Champion"), and Xenia Kalogeropoulou (billed as "introducing Maria Xenia") 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 the poster has a very minor printing defect, which is a series of faint light pink and blue lines down the left edge of the left blank border. This was a very minor printing defect that occurred during the printing of these half-sheets, and it is found on many 1950s and early 1960s half-sheets, and few collectors consider it much of a defect at all, because it is in the left edge of the blank border, has no effect on the image, and would likely be on all examples of this half-sheet. NOTE THAT, OTHER THAN THE ABOVE, THIS HALF-SHEET IS IN REALLY WONDERFUL CONDITION! Also note that this poster has never been machine folded! Most half-sheet posters were folded once horizontally and once vertically right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded example of most half-sheets, especially from before 1970! Condition: fine. The poster is in quite nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
