Sound of Music One Sheet Movie Poster 1SH (Pre Awards)

Presented is a One Sheet (27″ x 41″) poster for Sound of Music Todd AO Roadshow Style.  It is a folded unrestored poster that displays mild signs of display. It features stamping on the back.

The Artist: Howard Terpning
Important Added Info: Note that “pre-awards” one-sheets have a tagline at the top (in a black box) that reads “The happiest sound in all the world”. While still in continuous first release and after it won 5 Academy Awards in 1965, new one-sheets were printed and that top tagline was replaced with “Winner of 5 Academy Awards Including The ‘Best Picture Of Year'”. The poster offered here is the pre-Awards one-sheet, which is much more desired by collectors. Some pre-awards one-sheets credit Todd-AO (below the guitar and above “Color by Deluxe”), and others do not. The ones that do not were created for theaters that could not show the 70mm Todd-AO version.
