Description
Presenting 20 Sidney Poitier Movie Posters... A collection of posters from the films of actor, filmmaker and director Sidney Poitier. According to the All Movie Guide, Poitier broke the color barrier, forever altering the racial perceptions long held by both motion picture audiences and executives, rising to superstar status in an industry forever dominated on both sides of the camera by whites while becoming the first black Academy Award winner for Best Actor in 1964, receiving the honor for his performance in Lilies of the Field (1963). Included in this mini-book are full-sized, color posters, printed on 8 x 10 white paper, from No Way Out (1950), Cry, the Beloved Country (1952), Edge of the City (1957), The Defiant Ones (1958), Porgy and Bess (1959), A Raisin in the Sun (1961), Paris Blues (1951), Lilies of the Field (1963), The Bedford Incident (1965), The Long Ships (1965), A Patch of Blue (1965), The Slender Thread (1966), Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967), In the Heat of the Night (1967), To Sir, With Love (1967), They Call Me MISTER Tibbs!
