An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Style A Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) Ernie Pyle's Story of G.I. Joe, the classic 1945 William A. Wellman World War II (WWII) military biography ("You're there with Ernie Pyle and your G.I."; "The true story of every woman's fighting man"; "Now Immortalized on the Screen!"; "He saw them all! ...now they live for you on the screen"; "A motion picture as big as Ernie's own heart"; of war correspondent Ernie Pyle; note that this movie was also the inspiration for one of the greatest lines of action figures ever, G.I. Joe!) starring Burgess Meredith ("as Ernie Pyle"), Robert Mitchum (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Freddie Steele, Wally Cassell, Jimmy Lloyd, John R. Reilly, Dorothy Coonan, and Yolanda Lacca. Note that Mitchum was barely mentioned (and not pictured) on any of the original advertising for this movie. A few years later, in 1949, when it was re-released (after Mitchum had become a huge star), it was promoted as a Robert Mitchum starring movie, and Mitchum's image took the place of Meredith's on the posters! 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 been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Condition: very good. The poster had creases along both foldlines, small paper loss at the crossfold, and pinholes, creases, and smudges around the edges of the poster. The poster was paperbacked well, but you can see slight signs of the restoration, mostly from close up. From any distance away, it is not distracting! Learn More about condition grades
