PRODUCT & CONDITION:

Poster stored flat and rolled to ship some minimal damage to the poster or edges considering its age, colours remain bright and vibrant. Your chance to get this rare original poster, for the films US cinema release in 1956. Please take note of the size of this item before buying.

Episcopalian minister Gil Allen keeps up his college days interest in boxing by working out at a gym run by his friend, Tom Kelley. Gil declines when fight manager Gus McAuliffe offers to get him some bouts but, spurred by the need for a new iron lung and a swimming pool in his community, Gil takes on a fight, without disclosing his true profession, and knocks out his opponent with one punch. This impresses Pearl Gorman, girl friend of fight promoter Tony Lorenzo. Pearl was a promising singer until her fiancé, a boxer, died in the ring but is now on the bottle. She drinks more heavily when Gil ignores her. Gil is about to quit boxing but when Father Ritchie informs him that a down payment has already been made on the iron lung, he continues. He explains his winnings from his fights to Father Ritchie as donations from a friend in the leather business. Pearl learns his true identity and, through his influence, quits drinking. Gil one-punches his way to enough wins to pay off the iron lung and build a swimming pool for the Boys Club---girls couldn't swim in 1956---and the only surprise in this overdose of sweetness is that Bing Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald didn't show up for the swimming pool dedication.

GRADE: POOR:

Insert rolled in poor condition, poster formerly folded but now stored flat and shipped rolled. There may be small scuffs to edges, some tearing to the poster mainly at the corners or folds, tape (repair) has been used and is visible at the edges of the poster, scuffing more damage than would be expected in specific areas, see photos. But overall the poster is in good condition for age. Please carefully inspect images before purchasing whilst remembering all posters are original and therefore used.
