An Original Vintage English Movie Trade Ad (measures 11" x 17" [28 x 43 cm]; 2 pages) (Learn More) The Red Beret (released in the U.S. as "Paratrooper"), the 1953 Terence Young English World War II (WWII) military skydiving action thriller ("Alan Ladd at his greatest in this ripcord thriller that rips at your emotions!"; "The skies go black with thousands of fighting men hurtling into battle!"; "Alan Ladd, the toughest paratrooper of them all - hits the silk!"; "A thousand thrills a second!"; "The year's big adventure in color by Technicolor"; "Their destination no other men could reach!"; "Story by Hilary St. George Saunders, adapted from his book, 'The Red Beret'"; "Produced by Irving Allen and Albert R. Broccoli") starring Alan Ladd ("In his greatest action role!"), Leo Genn, Susan Stephen (billed as "introducing Susan Stephen"), Harry Andrews, Donald Houston, Anthony Bushell, Patric Doonan, Stanley Baker, Lana Morris, and Tim Turner. Note that Broccoli went on to produce the James Bond series of movies, which Irving Allen did not want to produce, because he did not think that they were even good enough for television!; a few years later, Allen tried to make up for his massive blunder by producing the series of Matt Helm movies starring Dean Martin, but the only way he could get Martin to star was to make him a partner, which meant that Martin made more money from The Silencers in 1966 than Sean Connery made on Thunderball the previous year, and Connery was not happy about that at all!

Important Added Info: Note that this is a great two-page trade ad taken out of a Kinematograph Weekly English trade magazine (we have a number of them in this set of auctions, and also one-page English trade ads). Studios would run these elaborate 2-page ads in issues of this magazine, and they often had images not found on any of the regular movie posters (either English or U.S.). This 2-page trade ad was removed from a 1953 issue of this magazine, and it will look incredible displayed on the new owner's wall. The back of those two pages have text or ads for other movies from that time, and we have not pictured those back pages because the primary interest to bidders is the great two-page color ad, which measures approximately 11" x 17". Also note that this is a "country of origin" item for this English movie, and any English movie paper is extremely rare! Condition: very good. The ad was removed from a magazine (see above). It was the centerfold of the magazine so the two pages are on a single sheet, and there are staple holes at the spine (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
