Original U.S. 22 inch x 28 inch Half Sheet Poster for the 1955 John Sturges Adventure THE SCARLET COAT starring Cornel Wilde, Michael Wilding, Anne Francis, George Sanders, Robert Douglas, John McIntire and Bobby Driscoll.

Based upon the events in the American Revolution in which Benedict Arnold offered to surrender the fort at West Point to the British in exchange for money. The film purports to tell the story of the creation of the "American Secret Service", and weaves a spy/counterspy tale in which British and American counterparts, played by Michael Wilding as Major John André and Cornel Wilde, as John Bolton, unaware that each is attempting to outsmart the other for the sake of their countries, deal with issues of honour, loyalty, and friendship.

The poster is in fine folded condition.
