Description

The Killers (Universal International, R-1956). One Sheet (27.25" X 41").
One of the definitive film noirs, this classic movie also marks the screen debut of Burt Lancaster, who plays a fading boxer whose murder sets off a brutal chain of events. Based on a short story by Ernest Hemingway, the film was nominated for four Oscars, including Best Director and Best Screenplay. The rare 1956 reissue one sheet had a censor stamp in the upper image, a chip in the left border and at the crossfolds, and pinholes in the borders. After expert professional restoration, however, this hard-to-find sheet looks great. Very Fine on Linen.
