An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Six-Sheet Movie Poster (6sh; measures 81" x 81" [206 x 206 cm]) (Learn More) Edge of the City (released in other English-speaking countries as "A Man Is Ten Feet Tall"), the 1957 Martin Ritt New York City race relations suspense thriller ("From the edge of your seat you'll see Edge of the City") starring John Cassavetes, Sidney Poitier, Jack Warden, Kathleen Maguire, and Ruby Dee NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Saul Bass Important Added Info: Note that we have never auctioned this six-sheet before! Also note that the Saul Bass art on this six-sheet was WAY ahead of its time with a really avant garde image of a man at the top of the poster whose head is "cut off". We wonder what 1956 viewers of this poster thought of it (probably many thought it was "missing" a piece! Also note that this film was released in January of 1957 but some U.S. items have a NSS of "56/466", while others have "57/27". Items with either NSS are from the first release of this movie. We have seen similar situations occur with other titles, especially when they were released right at the end or beginning of a year (as this film was). Note that this six-sheet was printed in 4 sections designed to overlap. Note that we were consigned a collection of 13 three-sheets and six-sheets that all have Saul Bass art! We have put these 10 six-sheets (one incomplete) and 3 three-sheets at the start of the auction, so that no one can miss them! Condition: fair to good. The poster is fragile and has tears and small paper loss on parts of several folds. One section is more fragile than the others, and it has completely separated on several of the folds. However, the poster is mostly "all there", and after linenbacking by a talented professional, the poster will look great. Therefore, please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects and are willing to pay to have them properly restored! Learn More about condition grades
