An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style A Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Storm Center, the 1956 Daniel Taradash political controversial-beliefs library melodrama ("Long awaited event!"; "Bette Davis hits the screen in a cyclone of dramatic fury!"; "In all the years no picture has said This!"; "The lighting of this match... sets the screen ablaze with passions it never dared present like this before!"; "Story and Screen Play by Daniel Taradash and Elick Moll"; about a small-town librarian who gets accused of being a Communist because she won't take a book off the shelves) starring Bette Davis, Brian Keith, Kim Hunter, Paul Kelly, and Kevin Coughlin NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Saul Bass Important Added Info: Note that most of the other posters for this movie use a portion of Saul Bass' wonderful design, but (as often happened with posters Bass designed) the studio chose to "improve" on what he created, and it results in posters that have a somewhat bland overall effect. But this half-sheet has the full original Saul Bass design (basically, completely unaltered by the studio!). The window card and the six-sheet have a similar image, but it is not exactly the same, and this half-sheet uses the design most effectively (and the other style half-sheet, has a very conventional layout). 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: good to very good. The poster was folded in half an extra time, resulting in two extra vertical folds. There are tiny creases and scuffs on the original horizontal and vertical folds, with a few faint creases and scuffs scattered in the image. There are thumb tack holes in the top border and tiny pinholes in the bottom corners. There is faint staining in the center of the top blank border and some very tiny tears in the right of the top blank border (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
