Original British International Pictures UK Six Sheet Poster (80×89) for the E. A. Dupont drama, ATLANTIC (1929) starring Franklin Dyall, Madeleine Carroll, and John Stuart. This is one of England’s first talkies and boasted the “biggest cast ever assembled in any picture.” This is a heavily fictionalized account of the sinking of the Titanic and was criticized for the actors melodramatically enunciating their lines, rolling their eyes, and using gestures more appropriate for silent cinema. The film does not attempt much in the way of special effects, but what is attempted is nicely done. The sinking of the ship is not shown but is indicated when the screen goes black one final time. Originally folded, this stone lithograph British six sheet poster is in very fine condition.
