An INCOMPLETE Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Six-Sheet Movie Poster (6sh; measures 54" x 81" [137 x 206 cm]) (Learn More) Shane, the classic 1953 George Stevens (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) family relationship cattlemen vs. homesteaders epic cowboy western ("There Never Was a Man Like Shane... There Never Was A Picture Like Shane!"; "Color by Technicolor"; "Screenplay by A.B. Guthrie, Jr."; "Additional Dialogue by Jack Sher"; based on the equally fine novel by Jack Schaefer; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Alan Ladd (in the title role as Shane), Jean Arthur (as Marian Starrett), Van Heflin (as Joe Starrett), Brandon De Wilde (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as Joey), Jack Palance (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as Wilson), Emile Meyer (as Rufe Ryker), Ben Johnson (as Chris Calloway), Edgar Buchanan (as Fred Lewis), Elisha Cook Jr. (as Stonewall Torrey), Douglas Spencer (as Swede Shipstead), John Dierkes (as Morgan Ryker), Ellen Corby (as Mrs. Torrey), Paul McVey (as Sam Grafton), and Nancy Kulp (as Mrs. Howells). Note that we all know this movie is an incredible classic, but it didn't look it at the time! Originally, Montgomery Clift was to play Shane and William Holden as Joe Starrett (that would have been a very different movie!), but the cast was changed when both those actors took other roles. It was filmed in the middle of 1951 but the studio was not pleased with it, and it was not released until 1953, after a long time of editing the movie by George Stevens. It opened at Radio City Music Hall, and was a big success! Note that Alan Ladd was 40 when the movie was released, and Jean Arthur was over 50 (ten years older than grizzled Emile Meyer, who played Rufe Ryker), and the movie revitalized both their careers! 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 only the top half of this poster is present. It was printed in 4 pieces. Two pieces had the top 2/3 of the poster and the other two pieces had the bottom 1/3, AND THOSE TWO BOTTOM PIECES ARE MISSING. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept that only part of the poster is present. Note that the portion of the poster that is present contains part of the title and the majority of the image. However, there is a substantial portion of the title and artwork missing, plus the small credits, so it would obviously be a really major job for a restorer to recreate that area. However, we can provide a scan of the pressbook image of the six-sheet (we don't know that another six-sheet exists), and that would greatly aid in this recreation. Of course, one would prefer to find the entire six-sheet, but that might never happen! Condition: poor. Only the top two-thirds of the poster is present. In addition, there are tears and paper loss along most of the folds of what is present, and there are tape repairs on the back of parts of the folds, so bear all that in mind.
