Description

On the Waterfront (Columbia, 1954). One Sheet (27" X 41"). One of Marlon Brando's greatest roles, this is the story of ex-prizefighter Terry Malloy (Brando), a young man with a conscience who has been working for the corrupt boss of the dockworker's union (Lee J. Cobb). When Terry witnesses a murder, and is later confronted by Edie (Eva Marie Saint), the dead man's sister, he is forced to confront the realities of life on the docks and prepares to testify before the crime commission. More than a mere crime movie, this picture is often seen as a defense of informers, especially since director Elia Kazan very famously cooperated with the House Un-American Activities Committee and named names of suspected Communists, an action that eventually led to blacklistings that ruined careers. Whatever the political motivations behind the picture, the movie was a massive critical and commercial success, winning eight Oscars, including Best Actor (Brando), Best Picture, Best Director (Kazan), and Best Supporting Actress (Saint). The score, by famed composer Leonard Bernstein, makes this film additionally notable. The gorgeous one sheet offered here, with its striking image of Brando, had slight fold separations at the borders, chips at the fold lines, a chip in the top border, and a chip in Brando's left eye. Professional restoration has expertly addressed these flaws, giving the poster a Near Mint appearance. Fine on Linen.

Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 100-110 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 22.50% Buyer's Premium with a $9 minimum Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Auctions. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Auctions, and all other information should be considered preliminary. Lot:28014
