SIREN OF BAGDAD - An original, 1953 First Screening A2 Rolled Film Poster with Extraordinary Bonus!

Finland: Columbia Pictures Corporation, 1953. 1st Edition . No Binding. Very Good. First Printing. A vintage, original, and quite unique Finnish cinema-used poster for the first screening in Finland of the movie, SIREN OF BAGDAD starring Paul Henreid. The film was first screened in Finland in 1953 with no further subsequent releases. Approximate size is 60 cm by 40 cm, standard Finnish A2 format. SIGNS OF USE: the poster has centre-folds in both directions and pinholes to the corners and centre - quite large holes at the bottom corners. To the verso of the poster is a large original drawing for another movie - The Red Beret. That film was screened in Finland in 1954. Unfortunately the drawing is not signed and therefore likely to be the work of a cinema employee pressed to come up with something due to the absence of a real poster for an imminent screening. At the bottom is written (in Finnish) "Tuesday 8pm" suggesting it was actually used. Overall, in VG condition and the drawing on the verso is just a huge bonus for any collector of cinema memorabilia. For the best appreciation of condition please study the accompanying photograph which is high resolution.
