Less than 10,000 returned. This is the story of 42 raw recruits caught up in a war they didn't understand, and the Captain who must lead them in their struggle to survive."; "On land they dreamed of being heroes. Beneath the sea they prayed to be survivors.";"The other side of World War II"; "Based on the Novel by Lothar-Gunther Buchheim"; "Written and Directed by Wolfgang Peterson"; set almost entirely in a claustrophobic submarine) starring Jurgen Prochnow, Herbert Gronemeyer, Klaus Wennemann, Hubertus Bengsch, Martin Semmelrogge, Bernd Tauber, Erwin Leder, Martin May, Heinz Hoenig (billed as "Heinz Honig"), Uwe Ochsenknecht, Claude-Oliver Rudolph, Jan Fedder, Ralf Richter (billed as "Ralph Richter"), Joachim Bernhard, Oliver Stritzel, Konrad Becker, Lutz Schnell, Martin Hemme, Gunter Lamprecht, and Otto Sander. Note that several years after the movie was released, the original footage was re-edited into three 100-minute sections and shown as a 3-part mini-series, and it was later shown as six 50-minute parts, and there was also a much longer director's cut released as well!

Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare "country of origin" poster for this German movie! This German poster measures 23 1/4" x 46 3/4".

Condition: good to very good. There are two small areas of surface paper loss in the lower right of the poster (one in the bottom edge of the image and one in the yellow border to the right of the title). There is a piece of clear tape over the bottom of the "OT" of "BOOT" in the title. There was a piece of tape on the back of the top center of the poster which extremely slightly bleeds through to the front. There are some minor creases around the edges of the poster. Other than the above minor defects (truthfully not very noticeable or distracting), the poster is in pretty nice condition!

This week we have given a more detailed overall condition grade along with more details about the condition described in words. Of course, we could not describe every single defect, plus there are some defects (like creasing, tape on the back, extremely tiny pinholes, etc) which can be VERY difficult to see, even in our largest "super-sized" image. Therefore we strongly recommend that you BOTH read our written description of the item, AND ALSO look at our super-sized image to see the extent of the defects that we describe and to examine the poster for minor defects that we did NOT describe.
