An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded English Three-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 39 1/4" x 81") (Learn More) On the Fiddle (released in the U.S. in 1965 as "Operation Snafu"), the 1961 Cyril Frankel English World War II (WWII) con man scam military recruit crime comedy ("It's SEAN CONNERY again!"; "Warm lips or hot lead He's after action not medals!"; "Never have so few FIDDLED so many!"; "From Boudoir to battlefield and back again!"; "From a novel by R.F. Delderfield") starring Alfred Lynch, Sean Connery (pre-James Bond and very young in this role!), Cecil Parker, Wilfrid Hyde White, Stanley Holloway, Kathleen Harrison, Eleanor Summerfield, Eric Barker, Terence Longdon, and Alan King. Note that after Sean Connery's giant success as James Bond, a savvy studio exec released this pre-James Bond movie in the United States in 1965 with a new title, and giving Sean Connery top billing and major artwork on the posters, to convince people that this was a major new Sean Connery movie! 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 is a rare "country of origin" poster for this English movie! This English three-sheet was printed in 2 sections. Note that this English three-sheet measures 39 1/4" x 81". Please do not bid on it thinking that it is 41" x 85". Condition: very good. There are some creases, smudges, and tiny tears on some foldlines, and some tiny paper loss at some crossfolds. There are some light water stains, darkening and slight extra wear on the part of the back of the poster that was on the outside when it was fully folded, typical of folded three-sheets (but it has little effect on the front of the poster).
