An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style Z Thirty by Forty Movie Poster (30x40; measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Trapeze, the 1956 Carol Reed romantic love triangle circus-performer high wire big top thriller ("The wonder show of the world!"; "It Happens There In Mid-Air... In All Its Fire, Flesh And Fury!"; "High high high above them all! ...In excitement! ...in spectacle! ...in fire, flesh and fury!"; based on the novel by Max Catto) starring Burt Lancaster, Tony Curtis, Gina Lollobrigida, Katy Jurado, Thomas Gomez, John Puleo, and Minor Watson. Note that star Burt Lancaster had been a circus performer for several years prior to becoming an actor, and he had done both trapeze and high wire stunts in the circus, and he is supposed to have done almost all of his own stunts in this movie! Also note that the movie has the characters attempting to perform a "triple" which they say had only been performed by a small number of people. In actuality, trapeze artists at the time tried to do quadruple jumps, but they couldn't have used that in the movie because it was so difficult to perform!

Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Note that this is one of 130 Thirty by Forty posters in this set of auctions which mostly contains unfolded one-sheets. At first glance, a Thirty by Forty LOOKS similar to a one-sheet, but they are printed on a heavier paper stock and they are not ever folded, which many of the one-sheets from the same time period are. Most Thirty by Forties are far more rare than the one-sheets from the same titles. Please bid on this poster knowing it is a Thirty by Forty and NOT a one-sheet. Condition: good to very good. There are creases and some tears around the edges, and there are some dot stains, smudges and creases scattered in the image, typical of 30x40s of this period (see our image). There is some writing in the borders. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
