    RARE Belgian Original 1st Release Poster -
    The Hucksters (1947)
    ,
    Clark Gable, Deborah Kerr, Sidney Greenstreet, Ava Gardner, Adolphe Menjou, Keenan Wynn, Edward Arnold, Jack Conway, Post-War Radio Advertising, MGM
    Next up is this rare Belgian movie poster from the first release of Jack Conway's
    film adaptation that skewered post-war radio advertising,
    The Hucksters
    . Prior to starring in this movie, Gable called the best-selling novel by Frederic Wakeman "filthy and it isn't entertainment". The script was sanitized and Deborah Kerr co-starred in her first Hollywood film.  This poster is from the original first release of the film in Belgium in 1947. This 1st release poster is in nice condition and features striking artwork unique to this Belgian poster. Besides being untrimmed, it also contains two additional attached snipes in Flemish which gives an idea of how these posters were displayed back in the Forties. This poster seldom (if ever) comes up for sale or auction.
