Far from living up to the actual exploits of The Babe, and seen as one of the worst movies Hollywood ever produced, The Babe Ruth Story starred William Bendix as the loveable slugger, with this quite fitting as Bendix actually served as a batboy to Ruth and the Yankees during the 1920s. This one sheet movie poster from 1948 thankfully pictures a more "Ruthesque" image to Bendix. At the standard 27" x 41", a number of small vignettes encompass the text, with the cast listed along the base. The bottom right corner has "48-1304", with this again stamped to the reverse. Sporting a number of condition issues including creases, pinholes, toning, discolouration, edge tears and separations along fold lines, if the poster was to be mounted to linen, it would display admirably.
