One Sheet (27" x 41"); Style A ;
Very Fine- Folded
Columbia, 1953
Marlon Brando stars as a motorcycle gang leader in this poster from producer Stanley Kramer's drama, released by Columbia. This example is folded and shows pinholes, some of which have a piece of white tape on the back. It also has light crossfold separation, a tape stain, and a chip on the upper border that has been repaired with a piece of paper and white tape. Despite these imperfections, this unrestored poster features a dynamic image of Marlon Brando and is in excellent condition.
"The Wild One" is a crime drama directed by Laszlo Benedek, produced by Stanley Kramer, and starring Marlon Brando as Johnny Strabler, a 1950s cultural icon. Often cited as the first outlaw biker film, it explores gang violence, with Lee Marvin as Chino, the rival gang leader.
Estimate: $400 - 800
