Culver City, CA: Columbia Pictures, 1959. Vintage US window card poster for the 1959 US film.

Based on Glendon Swarthout's 1958 novel, about the 1916 US "war" against Pancho Villa, and the group of men who unceremoniously are awarded medals. Together they must return to the battlefront, along with a prisoner (Hayworth) who helped them before.

14 x 22 in, unfolded. Near Fine, with light toning overall and a slip of paper stapled over the showing time. The paper is contemporary to the poster, most likely placed there to indicate a change in viewing time.
