Original Columbia Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Lewis Gilbert rip-snorting naval adventure, DAMN THE DEFIANT! (1962) starring Alec Guinness, Dirk Bogarde, Maurice Denham, Nigel Stock, and Anthony Quayle. This British production, originally titled H.M.S. DEFIANT, is based on the 1797 Spithead Mutiny in which seamen protested living conditions aboard British naval vessels and also demanded a pay raise. This complicated story rooted in history is totally engrossing, with bold characters and lots of exciting naval action. Guinness made this film during a two month break in the shooting of LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (1962). This original one sheet poster is in fine plus condition, theater used, but with no fold separations, colors vivid.
