An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded German "A0" Movie Poster (33x47; measures 33" x 47" [84 x 119 cm]) (Learn More) Shane, the classic 1953 George Stevens (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) family relationship cattlemen vs. homesteaders epic cowboy western ("There Never Was a Man Like Shane... There Never Was A Picture Like Shane!"; "Color by Technicolor"; "Screenplay by A.B. Guthrie, Jr."; "Additional Dialogue by Jack Sher"; based on the equally fine novel by Jack Schaefer; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Alan Ladd (in the title role as Shane), Jean Arthur (as Marian Starrett), Van Heflin (as Joe Starrett), Brandon De Wilde (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as Joey), Jack Palance (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as Wilson), Emile Meyer (as Rufe Ryker), Ben Johnson (as Chris Calloway), Edgar Buchanan (as Fred Lewis), Elisha Cook Jr. (as Stonewall Torrey), Douglas Spencer (as Swede Shipstead), John Dierkes (as Morgan Ryker), Ellen Corby (as Mrs. Torrey), Paul McVey (as Sam Grafton), and Nancy Kulp (as Mrs. Howells). Note that we all know this movie is an incredible classic, but it didn't look it at the time! Originally, Montgomery Clift was to play Shane and William Holden as Joe Starrett (that would have been a very different movie!), but the cast was changed when both those actors took other roles. It was filmed in the middle of 1951 but the studio was not pleased with it, and it was not released until 1953, after a long time of editing the movie by George Stevens. It opened at Radio City Music Hall, and was a big success! Note that Alan Ladd was 40 when the movie was released, and Jean Arthur was over 50 (ten years older than grizzled Emile Meyer, who played Rufe Ryker), and the movie revitalized both their careers!

Artist: Rolf Goetze Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster - we have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning (and we have only auctioned one first release German A1 for this movie)! Note also that there is an ink pad stamp on back that reads "Institut fuer Publizistik der universitat Munster (Westf.)" (which literally translates to "Institute of Journalism at the University of Munster (Halle Westfalen, Germany)"! Condition: very good. There is minor fold and border wear and there are a few creases and small tears along a few inches of the right center horizontal fold. There is tiny paper loss in a few of the crossfolds (see our image). There is an ink pad stamp that very slightly bleeds through to the front at right (see above) in the blank white area and there is some minor ball point pen writing that slightly bleeds through to the front upper left in portions of the words "IN GEORGE STEVENS" (it is not very noticeable or distracting). It is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it displays well! Learn More about condition grades
