Original Item: Only One Available. Sands of Iwo Jima (Republic, 1950) poster (22" X 28"). John Wayne received his first Oscar nomination for his work in this film, then was honored even further. At Grauman's Chinese Theater, he put his footprints, not in the regular cement as many Hollywood greats had done, but in black sand shipped in from Iwo Jima and mixed with the cement. Wayne's foot and fist prints remain in "the sands of Iwo Jima" on Hollywood Boulevard to this day. Here's your chance to own one of the top pieces we've ever seen on this great title. The poster may have slight edge and fold wear, creases, small tears, smudges, unobtrusive stains, and cellophane tape in the borders. Paper tape on the verso. Folded, Fine+.
