Classic first release UK Quad with artwork by Tom Chantrell for the war film The Longest Day. Painted from a German perspective from inside the pillbox this poster boasts "43 International Stars" of which 40 are named. Gert Frobe later to become famous for playing the Bond villain in 'Goldfinger' had his name added to later releases and John Wayne as per his contract (whereby he had to be listed either first or last in the billing order). In addition to the Quad, there is a full set of eight Front of House Lobby Cards included in the lot.
