Original US poster
Unframed: 41 x 27 in. (104 x 69 cm)

This musical was directed by Michael Curtiz. The cast includes Elvis Presley, Carolyn Jones, Walter Matthau, Dolores Hart, Dean Jagger and Vic Morrow. The film was based on Harold Robbins's book A Stone for Danny Fisher (1952). Presley portrays the troubled nineteen year old Danny Fisher. As his singing career takes off in New Orleans, will Danny be able to turn over a new leaf and not get caught up the wrong kind of people ? Presley was meant to start his military service, but was allowed to defer it from January to March 1958 in order to shoot this film.

Excellent condition, colours remaining very bright, very minor restoration to folds and a few marks in the border.
