An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Thirty by Forty Movie Poster (measures 30" x 40") (Learn More) Revolt in the Big House, the 1958 R.G. Springsteen jail prison escape convict crime thriller ("The raging violence of 2000 caged men!") starring Gene Evans, Robert 'Bobby' Blake, Timothy Carey, John Qualen, Sam Edwards, and John Dennis. Note that this movie instructed the public in "convict-made weapons", which included "shivs" (homemade knives), revolvers ("made out of wood or soap"), and metal whips (a chain covered with heavy leather). The producers of the movie urged theater owners to make some of these "convict-made weapons" and display them in their window or lobby! 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 30x40 has a silkscreen printed poster with an actual black & white photo which has neatly been "tipped in" (glued to the upper right corner of the poster). This is how almost all 30x40s were made at this time! Paper banners were also commonly made in this way at that time, and it makes for a striking poster, and few people would realize that it is not printed on a single piece, unless they examine the poster closely. Note that the silkscreen portions of this poster usually pick up scuff marks far more easily than other posters of this period (this was caused by the method of silkscreen printing, and is very common on these posters, and is not considered a major defect, unless it is very noticeable or distracting). Also note that this poster was never machine folded. Most movie posters from before 1980 were machine folded immediately after printing, but a very few were left unfolded. An unfolded poster from before 1980 is almost always far more difficult to find than a folded poster of the same title, and finding unfolded posters in excellent condition is even more difficult!
