Clark and Bradbury Foote"; an unusual story of a World War II veteran who had a brain injury during the war, which causes him blackouts, and he is found with his murdered wife, and he is convicted of killing her, but is sent to a mental hospital, and there he meets a beautiful psychiatrist who not only falls in love with him, but who decides he did not commit the murder, so she sets out to prove him innocent) starring Robert Taylor ("Tough"), Audrey Totter ("Tempting"), Herbert Marshall, Dorothy Patrick, H.B. Warner, and Warner Anderson. Note that in this movie, Robert Taylor (like other actors like Fred MacMurray and Dick Powell) reinvented himself as a noir hero! 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). Condition: good to very good. There are fine vertical scratches at upper center including some in Taylor's image. There are a few 1" and smaller tears around the edges of the poster (some repaired with tape from the back). The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
