Original John Sutherland Productions One Sheet Poster (27×41) for his animated industrial short, THE RHAPSODY OF STEEL (1959) narrated by Gary Merrill. Sutherland worked as an assistant director for Disney Studios before opening his own production company in 1944 with the encouragement of Walt Disney. Thereafter, he began to produce animated industrial and propaganda films, many of them with a clear anti-communist message. This film tells a child’s story of steel from the first meteor to hit the earth to the first manned rocket to leave it. This original one sheet poster is folded and in fine condition, with minor fold distresses and separations.
