IT’S A BIG COUNTRY 1952 Gary Cooper Ethel Barrymore Gene Kelly US 1-SHEET POSTER

Original U.S. 27 inch x 41 inch 1-Sheet Poster for the 1952 Clarence Brown, Don Hartman, John Sturges, Richard Thorpe, Charles Vidor, Don Weis and William A. Wellman Drama IT’S A BIG COUNTRY starring Ethel Barrymore, Gary Cooper, Van Johnson, Gene Kelly, Janet Leigh, Fredric March, William Powell, S.Z. Sakall, Marjorie Main, George Murphy, Keefe Brasselle, James Whitmore, Keenan Wynn, Nancy Davis and Lewis Stone.

Comprised of eight unrelated episodes, this anthology piece of American propaganda features some of MGM Studios’ best directors, screenwriters and actors; it is narrated by Louis Calhern. Stories are framed by the lecture of a university professor. In one tale a Boston resident becomes angry when the census forgets to record her presence. Another sketch chronicles the achievements of African Americans while still another pays tongue-in-cheek tribute to Texas.

The poster is in very good folded condition.
