An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

The Hook, the 1963 George Seaton Korean War military thriller ("This is a story of men 'in' war, not men 'at' war."; "It is dedicated not to any army or navy, but to the individual man and to his occasionally great and revealing moments of nobility. This is a story about such a moment."; "A strange and compelling story in these days of man's inhumanity to man. Its haunting theme will not soon be forgotten, for it proves that all men, no matter how different, have one thing in common... Their humanity!"; "Based on the Novel 'L'Hamecon' by Vahe Katcha") starring Kirk Douglas, Nick Adams, Robert Walker, Nehemiah Persoff, and Enrique Magalona

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that the person who owned this poster had it "paperbacked". This means that it was mounted on to a thin Japanese rice paper backing, and then slight restoration was performed. This is sometimes done as an alternate to linenbacking, by people who prefer that their posters still look and feel like unbacked posters, but which have the added protection of the paperbacking. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept that it has been professionally paperbacked.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good.

The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
