Original Paramount Pictures Insert Poster (14x36). Good Condition.
Original Paramount Pictures Insert Poster (14x36) for the Cecil B. DeMille war drama, THE STORY OF DR. WASSELL (1944)--starring Gary Cooper, Laraine Day, Signe Hasso, and Dennis O'Keefe. This is the story of an American doctor (Cooper) who is ordered to abandon his stretcher cases as the Allies were evacuating Java in 1942 before the Japanese advance. But Dr. Wassell stays behind and gets his wounded men evacuated. While many Hollywood movies depicting World War II are overly sentimental and patriotic, this film (made only two years after the actual events) is about an Allied defeat and how one man risked his life to save the wounded. This original insert poster is in good condition. Some evidence of tape on the front.
