Seller's Description

Original British 27 inch x 40 inch 1-Sheet Poster for the 1947 Derek Twist Adventure END OF THE RIVER, based on the novel “Death of a Common Man” by Desmond Holdridge, produced by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger and starring Sabu, Esmond Knight, Bibi Ferreira, Robert Douglas, Raymond Lovell, Torin Thatcher, James Hayter, Dennis Arundell, Antoinette Cellier, Maurice Denham, Andrea Malindrinos, Alan Wheatley, James Harcourt, Peter Illing, Orlando Martins, Charles Hawtrey, Zena Marshall and Russell Napier.

On trial for murder, Brazilian native Manoel (Sabu) relates to a defense attorney (Maurice Denham) how he came to be accused of the crime. As a boy, Manoel, the sole survivor of a family murdered by the chieftain, is exiled from his tribe. Rescued by a British prospector, Manoel is placed into slavery before arriving in England. Unfamiliar with the country's customs, Manoel is buffeted between a well-meaning priest, shady union members and friends, ending in a confused dockside melee.
