Zanuck"; about a light-skinned black African American girl who passes for white, and the complications that ensue; 20th Century Fox massively diluted the power of the story by casting a white actress in the lead role, and they were obviously scared of the subject matter, for the posters only make reference to it in an oblique way) starring Jeanne Crain (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; in the title role as Patricia "Pinky" Johnson), Ethel Barrymore (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Ethel Waters (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), William Lundigan, Griff Barnett, and Frederick O'Neal (in his debut role).

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is one of several British quads that were consigned to us by a man who has worked in the film industry for many years. A long time ago, he acquired these British quads when he worked with 20th Century-Fox, and he has kept them carefully stored for many years, which accounts for some of them being in wonderful condition. He previously consigned some quads three years ago, and now he has returned with a few more! Anyone who collects British quads knows how rare it is to find ones from the 1950s in any condition, and to find them in at all nice condition almost never happens. Also 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. Condition: very good. The poster was folded in half an extra time and it has slight darkening on the folds. It has a tiny tape repair of a small tear on the back of the lower left blank border.
