One Sheet (27" x 41")
Fine+ Folded
20th Century Fox, 1947

When the film was released in the summer of 1947, the promotional posters barely referenced the Christmas theme, as illustrated in this poster. Studio head Darryl F. Zanuck insisted that the film should debut in the spring, as more people tended to go to the movies during warmer weather. In the lead-up to its release on May 2, 1947, promotional efforts kept the Christmas element of the film under wraps.

This vibrant and charming copy of the Christmas classic poster shows general wear, including corner pinholes, slight fold marks, and minor foxing. All four corners have been previously folded back, and there is archival tape behind each crossfold on the back. These characteristics are typical of unrestored posters from this era.

Directed by George Seaton and featuring the enchanting Maureen O'Hara, this 1947 classic captures the magic of Christmas through the story of a young girl's encounter with a remarkable department store Santa Claus. The film won several Academy Awards, including Best Supporting Actor for Edmund Gwenn's unforgettable portrayal of Kris Kringle, securing its place in the annals of film history.
