The Postman Always Rings Twice (MGM, 1946). OS
<B>The Postman Always Rings Twice (MGM, 1946).</B></I> One Sheet (27" X 41"). James M. Cain's shocking crimer told a gritty story of a drifter who starts work in a diner and soon begins an affair with the owner's wife. The dissatisfied hussy decides that her husband needs his ticket punched, and turns to the drifter to do the dirty work for her. Lana Turner, a platinum blonde bombshell, was cast as the insatiable wife, and John Garfield was the man who drifted into her irresistible charms. Although the novel was written in 1934, MGM had to wait until 1946 before they were allowed to make such an unsavory film. That's the way we like 'em, and that's the reason this is one of the most important graphics of the entire <I>film noir</B></I> genre. This example of the one sheet has less restoration than most as the black background has only been retouched along the fold lines. The borders had a few minor chips out of them and those have been restored without having to airbrush the entire border. There was a four inch tear into the upper background that has been repaired. The poster, after restoration, now appears near mint. Very Fine- on Linen. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Rolled Material (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
