Description
The film that delivered one of the most memorable lines of dialogue in 20th century cinema, "I coulda been a contender"! After winning Oscar nominations in 1951 with "A Streeetcar Named Desire", in 1952 with "Viva Zapata" & in 1953 with "Julius Caesar", Marlon Brando finally landed an Oscar for the tough but sensitive longshoreman in "...Waterfront" in 1954. Elia Kazan's film was a huge critical success, garnering Osacars additionally for "Best Picture", "Best Supporting Actress" (Eva Marie Saint), Director (Elia Kazan), plus Oscars for Screenplay, Cinematography, Art Direction & Film Editing, The poster design includes a mix of both original artwork & photographic elements but rightfully promotes Brando, who by 1954 was Hollywood's most exciting actor. The poster has been cleaned, de-acidified & linen-backed.
