He Who Must Die (1957) Original Movie Poster

Original U.S. One-Sheet Poster for the Jules Dassin film HE WHO MUST DIE (1957). The movie is a French-Italian co-production, but it was directed by the Greek director Dassin, and it starred Melina Mercouri, who would become perhaps the most famous Greek actress of the period. The movie was based on a novel by Nikos Kazantzakis, "Christ Recrucified." The movie is about the occupants of a small village who stage a Passion Play, and fashion it so that it reflects rebellion against the Turkish occupiers of Greece at the time of the story. Dassin would go on to make Mercouri internationally famous in his 1960 film NEVER ON SUNDAY. HE WHO MUST DIE was entered at Cannes and won the OCIC Award - Special Mention. An unusual and rare U.S poster for the film. MovieArt Original Film Posters in Austin, Texas guarantees that this poster is authentic.
