The offered insert movie poster features Elvis “his first big dramatic singing role” promoting the 1957 MGM film Jailhouse Rock. Elvis portrays Vince Everett, our anti-hero, seen on this poster staring off into the distance and contemplating the trials and tribulations of an ex-con turned singing star. The US Jailhouse Rock promotional pieces were masterpieces of design for the era, and this example is no exception. The movie catches Elvis in his prime, in full ascension to super-stardom as both actor and musical performer—this poster embodies that spirit as you take it all in. The poster measures 14 x 36 inches and presents with heavy wear and many distresses including paper tape reinforcements on the reverse, cracking and wrinkling, pinholes and areas of paper loss at he corners and several other areas of the border, areas of staining. Very Good condition.
