ON THE WATERFRONT

Italian 2-Fogli (39.5" x 55")
Very Fine- on Linen; Artwork by Luigi Martinati
Columbia, R-1960

This exceptional poster has undergone professional linen-backing to address fold wear and chips originating from the central horizontal fold within the border, which extend into the artwork. The compromised area within the artwork on each side is roughly the size of a half-dollar coin. The restoration was skillfully performed with minimal airbrushing to the borders.

Marlon Brando won his first Oscar for the role of ex-prize fighter turned dock worker Terry Malloy in Elia Kazan's gripping, powerful crime drama. Kazan himself would win an Oscar, too, with the film sweeping the awards that year, picking up Best Picture, Best Writing (for Budd Schulberg), and Best Cinematography (for Boris Kaufman), among others.
