Original 20th Century-Fox Half Sheet Poster (22x28). Re-Release of 1956. Folded. Very Good Condition Theater-Used

Original 20th Century-Fox 1956 Re-Release Half Sheet Poster (22x28) for the John Ford iconic drama, THE GRAPES OF WRATH (1940) starring Henry Fonda, Jane Darwell, and John Carradine. This film is the story of the Joad family, who are forced to leave their land in Oklahoma because of drought and poverty. The stunning black and white cinematography of Gregg Toland enhances the overwhelming feeling of desperation and emptiness that suffuses the entire film. When they decide to go to California to get jobs they've only heard about, they encounter every hardship imaginable along the way. And when they do finally arrive, they are forced to live in shantytowns and work for wages that barely prevent starvation. With incredibly powerful performances from the entire cast, this film remains a shockingly realistic yet poetic portrayal of the sufferings so many families experienced in the Great Depression. The film was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture. John Ford won the Oscar for Best Director and Jane Darwell deservedly won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her unforgettable performance as Ma Joad. This original half sheet poster is folded, a bit unevenly, and it is theater-used. It is in average used condition, graded as very good. MovieArt Original Film Posters in Austin, Texas guarantees this poster to be an authentic film poster from the re-release date of 1956.
