DUEL OF CHAMPIONS (1961) 11051

full.duelofchampions-1sh

Original Medallion Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Ferdianado Baldi and Terence Young historical action drama, DUEL OF CHAMPIONS (1961) starring Alan Ladd, Franca Bettoia, Franco Fabrizi, Robert Keith, and Jacques Sernas. The film chronicles a duel between three Roman and three Alban brothers to settle a long-standing dispute between the two peoples. Many critics concentrate on Ladd’s tired and lackluster performance, coming at the end of his career. Indeed, he would only act in two more films and die of an overdose of alcohol and sedatives in 1964. The best thing about the film is the truly epic musical score composed by Francesco Lavagnino that desperately tries to elevate the production. Fine plus condition for this theater-used one sheet. Good color, no fold separations.

Filmed in color but with a very film noir feel—this film is very gritty, exciting, and just plain fun to watch.
