The Big Shot (Warner Brothers, 1949). First Post War Release French Grande (45" X 61").For Humphrey Bogart it was the end of an era. For years, Bogart had been toiling away at his acting craft, consistently cast in the part of the "heavy" or the gangster in countless routine programmers for Warner Brothers. The roles were often second rate and he was never able to snare top billing. All that came to an end with High Sierra that was released in 1941. So when The Big Shot was released in early 1942, Bogart was finally given the top billing he so deserved. The film was also the last of the B-picture Gangster films that Bogart would make for Warner's before he became the King of the Warner lot. This poster is from the film's first release in France after WWII. Many films had been held up from release due to the Nazi occupation and it was only a matter of time until they were finally distributed overseas. The artwork is by Boris Grinsson and captures one of the most iconic portraits of Bogart ever created. The poster has minor color touch to the fold lines with just a slight bit more to the center point in Bogart's cheek. Very Fine- on Linen.
