A 1949 Re-Release Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Ernie Pyle's Story of G.I. Joe, the classic 1945 William A. Wellman World War II (WWII) military biography ("You're there with Ernie Pyle and your G.I."; "The true story of every woman's fighting man"; "Now Immortalized on the Screen!"; "He saw them all! ...now they live for you on the screen"; "A motion picture as big as Ernie's own heart"; of war correspondent Ernie Pyle; note that this movie was also the inspiration for one of the greatest lines of action figures ever, G.I. Joe!) starring Burgess Meredith ("as Ernie Pyle"), Robert Mitchum (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Freddie Steele, Wally Cassell, Jimmy Lloyd, John R. Reilly, Dorothy Coonan, and Yolanda Lacca. Note that Mitchum was barely mentioned (and not pictured) on any of the original advertising for this movie. A few years later, in 1949, when it was re-released (after Mitchum had become a huge star), it was promoted as a Robert Mitchum starring movie, and Mitchum's image took the place of Meredith's on the posters! 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 poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: fair. The poster has really significant creasing throughout, paper loss along portions of the edges and there are some other defects that can be clearly seen in our super-sized image.
