This is an original, Finnish movie poster from 1961 for the initial, theatrical release of Ben-Hur. The 1959 classic film stars Charlton Heston, Jack Hawkins, Hugh Griffith and Haya Haraeet. William Wyler directed the movie. Joseph Smith is the artist for the poster.
The poster measures 16" x 23.75" and is in very good condition with pinholes in the corners and on the right edge from theatrical display. It was briefly folded after printing but has been stored flat for many years. The poster will be rolled for shipping in a rigid, tube mailer.
Please look closely at the photos (this is the exact poster you are buying). The small, black squares in the corners of the poster are magnets and not pins.
This rare and very collectible poster, printed in 1961 to promote the initial, Finnish theatrical release of Ben Hur, is not a reproduction or a reprint.
