ONLY ANGELS HAVE WINGS (1939) 16521

Original Columbia Pictures One Sheet Poster (27x41) for the Howard Hawks masterful drama, ONLY ANGELS HAVE WINGS (1939) starring Cary Grant, Jean Arthur, and Rita Hayworth. New York showgirl Arthur is on a stop-over in a small town somewhere in South America. She meets and falls in love with Grant, the leader of a small band of mail pilots who have to cross a perilous mountain pass daily. Grant, who has sworn off women, lives entirely in a world of men, totally in the moment, and united with the other flyers by the imminent dangers of their work. ANGELS was a huge hit for Hawks and ushered in his most successful decade in Hollywood. The film was nominated for two Academy Awards—Best Cinematography and Best Special Effects. This original one sheet poster is linen-backed and in near mint condition with only minimal touch-up. A very rare poster for one of the thirties most influential action films. A pivotal role for Rita Hayworth before she became one of Hollywood's biggest stars. Notice she's shown on the poster! This one is RARE.
