One-Sheet (27" x 41"); Todd-AO Roadshow Style
Fine+ on Linen; Artist Howard Terpning
20th Century Fox, 1965

This poster is the hard-to-find "Roadshow" version and features the classic artwork by Howard Terpning.

This linen-backed poster had restoration to previous issues, including scattered pinholes, paper loss, and fold line wear with separation, creasing, and chipping, especially in the cross folds and poster ends. There are also two additional vertical fold lines on the left and right. The poster has had airbrushing to all the borders as well as areas of paper loss including the left and right borders going slightly into the background and also the upper center. There have been scattered touch-ups and airbrushing to various fold lines. Issues aside, the poster displays quite beautifully.

Robert Wise's wholesome World War II-set musical, starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. It was not only an Oscar winner (its five awards including Best Picture and Best Director) but also a resounding box-office success, becoming for a time the highest-grossing movie ever made.

Estimate: $600 - 1,200
