MUSIC MAN, THE (1962) 13204 Robert Preston Shirley Jones Movie Poster

Description

Original Three-Sheet Poster (41x81) Folded Fine Condition
Original Warner Brothers U.S. three-sheet poster for the Morton DaCosta film of the Meredith Willson musical, THE MUSIC MAN (1962) starring Robert Preston, Shirley Jones, Buddy Hackett, and Hermione Gingold. This film is certainly one of the best film adaptations of a Broadway musical. The original Broadway production of THE MUSIC MAN opened at the Majestic Theater on December 19, 1957, won the Tony Award for Best Musical in 1958, and ran for 1375 performances. Even though Robert Preston had never appeared in a musical before or even sang a note, the role turned out to be one of his most memorable performances, and he won the 1958 Tony Award for Best Actor in a musical. Preston repeated his role for the Warner Brothers film version opposite Shirley Jones. The film version preserved all of the charm of the stage hit. This three-sheet is an oversized poster which is printed on two separate panels. The poster was used in a theater and and was assembled as a three sheet when we got it. This poster is in nice condition, and the top and bottom sections are already assembled. However, it could be restored and would look even better, we have no doubt at all. We have graded the poster as is in fine condition. There are a few pinholes and minor tears, but colors are vivid. MovieArt Original Film Posters in Austin, Texas guarantees that this poster is an authentic U.S. three sheet for this film.
