This is a very rare paper banner for Peter Yates' crime thriller starring Steve McQueen. These scarce heavy-stock banners were used between the late 1940s and 1960s and were designed to hang above a cinema entrance or in the foyer. They proved unpopular with cinemas and were predominantly used at drive-ins instead. Many of these banners have not survived, and even fewer survived in decent condition. This example is rolled with some handling wear and a few small tears around the borders.
