Original Warner Brothers 1959 Re-Release Duotone Insert Poster (14×36) for the Robert Wise ancient Greek epic, HELEN OF TROY (1956)–starring Rossana Podesta, Jacques Sernas, Niall MacGinnis, and Sir Cedric Hardwicke. Warner’s version of the tale of Homer’s Iliad spins the story so that the Trojans are the heroic peace loving people trapped in a war with the bellicose Greeks. Podesta was new to American films, and Warners had high hopes for her, but her English was so broken that they elected to have her voice – and the voice of Sernas – dubbed. The re-release insert is curious because the poster makes no mention at all of leading man Sernas. Condition is very fine. MovieArt also has posters for the original 1956 release of this film including two rare 30x40s! If you watch this film, look for a small role by a very young Brigitte Bardot!
