Original 1956 Re-Release Half Sheet Poster (22×28) for the John Huston adventure western, THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE (1948) starring Humphrey Bogart, Walter Huston, Tim Holt, Bruce Bennett, and Barton MacLane. Based on a novel by the mysterious recluse B. Traven, the film explores the degenerative effects of greed, distrust, and hatred on three prospectors who team up to search for gold in Mexico. Bogart gives an amazingly complex performance as Dobbs who is clearly destined for a tragic fate. Walter Huston, the director’s father, steals the picture as the wise old prospector who knows all along what will happen, and takes it all in stride. Indeed, the elder Huston won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, while his son John Huston won two Oscars for Best Director and Best Screenplay. The film was also nominated for Best Picture. Good condition only. In need of linen-backing. Never folded, but tears and distresses. Worth restoring!

Original 1956 Dominant Pictures Re-Release Half Sheet Poster (22×28) for the Michael Curtiz musical biography, YANKEE DOODLE DANDY (1942)–starring James Cagney, Joan Leslie, and Walter Huston. This is a musical portrait of James M. Cohan– who wrote, produced, directed, and starred in his own musical shows for which he composed many memorable songs. Known as “the man who owned Broadway” in the decade before World War I, Cohan is considered to be father of American musical comedy. Cagney won the Oscar for Best Actor, and the film also won Oscars for Best Music and Best Sound Recording. It was also nominated in five other categories–including Best Original Story, Best Director, and Best Picture. The poster has some staining but can be easily restored. An interesting image of Cagney, this reissue poster of 1956 is actually scarcer than 1942 posters. Ask us about restoration. Originally folded, this 1956 re-release half sheet poster is in good condition.
