HERCULES (1959) 12712 Large Film Poster Steve Reeves as Hercules

Original Warner Brothers Three Sheet Poster (41x81). Folded. Very Good Theater-Used

Original Warner Brothers Three Sheet Poster (41x81) for the Pietro Francisci sword and sandal epic, HERCULES (1959) starring Steve Reeves, Sylva Koscina, Fabrizio Mioni, and Ivo Garrani. This low-budget Italian epic combines a mŽlange of characters and events from separate mythological stories. Joseph E. Levine flew to Italy to see the original Italian film and acquired the U.S. rights and re-titled it as simply HERCULES. Levine spent more money promoting the American version than its Italian producers had spent making the film in the first place. This resulted in the film becoming one of the most popular and profitable films of its time. This original three sheet poster is folded. It was used in a theater and shows signs of general wear and tear. Colors are vivid, but there are miscellaneous tears and small holes. We feel that this poster should be linen-backed. It would certainly be spectacular in that event. MovieArt Austin guarantees this poster to be the authentic three sheet poster for this film. MovieArt Austin does not sell reproductions.
