Description

Journey into Fear (RKO, 1942). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style B.
Fresh off his success in Citizen Kane, Orson Welles wrote, produced and appeared in this fine film, a story of international intrigue adapted from the novel by Eric Ambler. Welles had planned to direct as well, but prior commitments made it necessary for him to turn over the reins to Norman Foster. Utilizing virtually the entire Mercury Theater company, this is a complex tale involving a US gunnery engineer on the run from Nazi assassins during the height of the Second World War. The Style B half sheet offered here is far more rare than the Style A, and this example is in admirable condition. Only creases, a tear and small hole in the bottom border, and foxing in the borders can be detected. Rolled, Very Fine-.
