Vintage US three-sheet poster for the 1958 US film. The film won two Academy Awards, for best writing and cinematography, and was nominated for another seven. Tony Curtis and Sidney Poitier were lauded for their performances in this Academy Award winning drama, in which two prisoners from a chain-gang escape. One white, one African American, the men originally cooperate out of necessity, as they are chained to one another. However, as they grow familiar with one another, a deep bond and mutual respect develops between the men. "The Defiant Ones" was shot on a closed set due to the then-provocative subject matter. Special screenings were orchestrated in the southern United States for integrated audiences, a relatively uncommon occurrence at the time. Montgomery, Alabama, however, chose to cancel an integrated screening when the White Citizen's Committee Council protested the film, claiming it gave rise to "moral support and financial gain to subversive propagandists" (AFI catalogue). Set in the American South, shot on location in California. 41 x 81 inches, folded. Very Good, with numerous pin holes, moderate edgewear, and extensive tape reinforcements to the verso. Manuscript annotations to the verso and a stamp indicating three-sheet poster. Royal Books can arrange for archival linen backing of posters. Please inquire.

Condizione: Good. . 8 pp. 45.8x33.8 cm (18x13¼"). Moderate wear, edges toned,."The film's title, as noted in the picture, comes from the Biblical passage of Proverbs 11:29: "He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind." Although the picture was copyrighted twice by Lomitas Productions, Inc., the first copyright, dated 2 Sep 1960 under number LP17779, lists the production company as Lomitas Productions, Germany, and was for a 16mm version. This version was probably shown at the film's premiere at the Berlin Film Festival on 25 Jun 1960. The second copyright, also held by Lomitas Productions, Inc. and for a 35mm version, was registerd on 12 Nov 1960 under number LP17367, and the company is listed by the copyright records only as Lomitas Productions. .Director Stanley Kramer stated in a Nov 1959 NYT article that he considered Inherit the Wind the third in his trilogy of socially provocative films beginning with The Defiant Ones (1958, see above) and On the Beach (1959, see below). The film is based on the play Inherit the Wind, which was inspired by the 1925 "Scopes Monkey Trial" in Dayton, TN. During that trial, then dubbed "The Trial of the Century," Chicago labor lawyer Clarence Darrow (1857?1938) defended teacher John T. Scopes (1900?1970). Scopes was accused of propounding Charles Darwin's theory of evolution in defiance of Tennessee's Butler Law, which prohibited the teaching of any theory other than creationism. The prosecution was led by fundamentalist politician William Jennings Bryan (1860?1925), who was known as "The Great Commoner." Bryan ran for United States President three times, in 1896, 1900 and 1908 and served as Secretary of State from 1913--1915. Unlike as depicted in the film, Bryan died not on the day the trial ended but five days later, of complications from diabetes. Another famous figure represented in the play and film versions of the story was H. L. Mencken (1880?1956), a journalist celebrated for his clever wit and iconoclastic liberalism. In the play and film, the names of the major characters are changed from Clarence Darrow to Henry Drummond; William Jennings Bryan to Matthew Harrison Brady; H. L. Mencken to E. K. Hornbeck; and John T. Scopes to Bertram T. Cates. Although the film's version of the trial hewed closely to actual events, in other areas many facts were changed. For example, unlike in the film, the real trial was initiated by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which considered the Butler Law, prohibiting the teaching of evolution in Tennessee classrooms, unconstitutional. When Dayton resident George W. Rappelyea learned of the ACLU's desire to test the law, he convinced Scopes, who rarely even taught evolution, to join the case. According to modern sources, because the theory of evolution was included in the state's textbook, many Tennessee teachers included it in the curriculum. Also in contrast to the film, according to some historians, Darrow wanted Scopes to be found guilty so he could appeal the decision to a higher court.
