BROKEN ARROW (1950) 12680

Original 20th Century-Fox One Sheet Poster (27x41) for the Delmer Daves western, BROKEN ARROW (1950) starring James Stewart, Jeff Chandler, and Debra Paget. This wonderfully adapted screenplay from the Elliott Arnold novel "Blood Brother" tells the moving story of former army scout Tom Jeffords (Stewart) who wants to make peace with the Native Americans and stop ten years of cruel bloodshed. He bravely goes to the Apache stronghold and begins a dialogue with their chief Cochise (Chandler). He also falls in love with an Indian princess (Paget). Though most of the Native American roles were played by whites, the film is considered groundbreaking because of its portrayal of them in a humane light. The film was nominated for three Oscars—Best Supporting Actor for Chandler, Best Adapted Screenplay for Albert Maltz, and Best Color Cinematography for Ernest Palmer. This original one sheet poster is linen-backed and in very fine condition.
