An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27 3/4" x 42" [70 x 107 cm]) (Learn More) Guys and Dolls, the 1955 Joseph L. Mankiewicz New York City romantic gambling Broadway dance musical ("It's a living breathing doll of a musical!"; "Samuel Goldwyn presents America's Own Musical!"; based on the play by Abe Burrows & Jo Swerling; about a professional gambler who bets an operator of an illegal craps game that he can take a beautiful Salvation Army worker to Cuba with him for dinner!) starring Marlon Brando (as Sky Masterson), Jean Simmons (as Sister Sarah Brown), Frank Sinatra (as Nathan Detroit), Vivian Blaine (as Miss Adelaide), Robert Keith (as Lt. Brannigan), Stubby Kaye (as Nicely-Nicely Johnson), B.S. Pully (as Big Jule), Johnny Silver (as Benny Southstreet), Sheldon Leonard (as Harry the Horse), The Goldwyn Girls, and Larri Thomas (as the sexy Cuban dancer who flirts with Brando in Cuba, and gets in a fight with Simmons!). Note that Sam Levene was the original Nathan Detroit in the first stage version of "Guys and Dolls", but he was replaced for the movie by Frank Sinatra, because producer Sam Goldwyn did not consider Levene a big enough name, and Goldwyn also refused to let Sinatra play Sky Masterson, who would have been wonderful, and instead Goldwyn cast Marlon Brando (which led to much friction between Brando and Sinatra)!

Important Added Info: Note that the poster originally measured 28 1/2" x 42", but that a tiny amount of the left blank border was trimmed off (most examples of this poster are found trimmed, often to 27" x 41", so they could fit a standard frame). We have no idea why this poster was printed in a larger size, but no doubt it made many theater owners angry! Note that this one-sheet has been slightly trimmed and it now measures 27 3/4" x 42" [70 x 107 cm]. Condition: good. The poster was slightly trimmed on the left and right blank borders . All four sides of the poster were folded over at one time and there are staple holes in all four borders. There is a piece of tape in the top right corner. There is tiny paper loss at the top crossfold and some faint smudges scattered in the poster. After a simple linenbacking, the poster will look great and it will require little paint restoration within the image. Learn More about condition grades
