Date Sold 5/27/2021Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Floyd Patterson vs Ingemar Johansson, the 1959 - 1961 (see below) boxing sports fight movie ("See it now on film!"; "Action thrills in slow motion!"; "Official world's heavyweight championship fight films!"; "Better than ringside!"). Note that Patterson and Johansson first fought in 1959 (Johansson won in a stunning upset) and United Artists used the release of this film to also promote The Horse Soldiers with the tagline "See! Hear! At Ringside! John Wayne, William Holden, Stars of 'The Horse Soldiers'". Patterson and Johansson had a rematch in 1960 (Patterson reclaimed the championship) but we have not seen a 1960 poster. Patterson and Johansson fought their third match in 1961 (Patterson won) and United Artists created a poster that looked very similar to the 1959 poster, except that it had "Now Playing" next to an empty box instead of a promo for The Horse Soldiers. We've seen what appears to be a studio-issued snipe attached to the 1961 posters, which says "The tremendous third bout!" If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: fair to good. The poster has is heavily rippled. It has some slight discoloration, and there are several pairs of staple holes along portions of the foldlines and edges (and in a few portions of the image) and some of those have some discoloration. There are some purple paint stains on back of the lower edge that slightly bleed through to the front. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid and please do not bid unless you can accept the defects described above, or you are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
