Bidding starts in 0d 1h 39m

Vintage Belgian theatrical poster for the classic RKO film noir The Narrow Margin, originally released in the U.S. in 1952 and released in Belgium in 1953. The Belgian title appears prominently as “Les Tueurs du Pacific-Express,” with the Dutch title “De Moordenaars van de Pacific Express” along the bottom. Fantastic period artwork featuring Charles McGraw, Marie Windsor and Jacqueline White, with the speeding train and crime-thriller imagery that makes this a particularly strong film-noir display piece. The film was directed by Richard Fleischer for RKO Radio Pictures. Condition: Vintage condition with significant age-related character. Front shows toning/discoloration around the margins, fold lines, creasing/wrinkling and general handling wear. Reverse shows noticeable foxing/staining, age toning and spotting, as clearly shown in the photos. Despite the age and wear, the main printed artwork remains colorful and visually striking. Please review all photographs carefully for exact condition. A very collectible piece for film noir, RKO, railroad cinema and vintage international movie-poster collectors.
