JAILHOUSE ROCK Original Authentic Vintage Movie Poster One Sheet

Original Vintage Movie Poster 30x40"
Starring Elvis Presley & Judy Tyler
VERY RARE Large Style Y Version

One of Only Two in Existence!

Large-format 30x40 theatrical poster, larger than a standard One Sheet

Highly Scare Elvis Presley "Jailhouse Rock" original vintage movie poster.   This particular style poster with a huge and spectacular image of Elvis "walking" into the poster from the right is so rare, it is One of only Two known to exist.   This is the rare 30x40" version, slightly larger than the standard one sheet of 27x41"..  It is also on heavier stock paper, unlike the thin glossy style standard one sheet.  We have seen the standard used one sheet which appears on the market more far more often, but this particular poster we have here, based on our extensive research is one of only two that has ever surfaced on the market!    

In addition to the stunning life size image of Elvis it also has a unique inset (only Elvis "Jailhouse Rock" poster to have an inset) of Elvis and his Co-Star, leading lady  Judy Tyler in the upper left.

Condition:  It is in very good condition.  Prior to professional paper-backing and minor restoration had some border wear and slight creasing mostly in the lower right corner area.
Because it is on heavier stock paper and not thin glossy like standard one sheets it was never folded. Hence, it does not have the fold lines as all vintage standard one sheets do. Also, as most all heavier stock posters these was professionally paper backed instead of linen backing to prevent creasing. 

NOTE:  The paper-backing is a light paper backing and hence the poster is Not stiff,  it is rolled and hence much easier to store then if it were flat.   These Rare large style posters were roughly handled and hence why so few survived.   Hence, the professional paper-backing has not only repaired the tears, flattened out any creases and resulted in a gorgeous presentation, but also preserves the poster for much longer then if it was Not backed. 

This poster dated "Loews 1957" in the left bottom border is an original 1957 release.  However, It also has on the left border a handwritten NSS (National Screen Service) notation "60-143".   This was because the poster was reused in 1960 to celebrate Elvis's return from the Army.   There was a special poster created for the Elvis return 1960 release but in this case they reused this very rare 1957 original release.  In celebration of Elvis' return from military service from Germany, "Jailhouse Rock" was re-released. . Jailhouse Rock has long been considered, by both critics and fans alike, Elvis' finest film...

* NOTE:   It has been professionally paper-backed backed and looks AMAZING!   And the chances you will ever see another one in this lifetime is highly unlikely!   * See enlargeable images above and below..

Jailhouse Rock (MGM, 1957). Large-format (30" X 40").
Starring Elvis Presley, Judy Tyler, Mickey Shaughnessy, Vaughn Taylor, Jennifer Holden, Dean Jones, Anne Neyland. Directed by Richard Thorpe.
In Elvis Presley's third film he portrays the wild but honorable Vince Everett who is sent to prison for killing a man in a bar fight. He learns to sing and play guitar and quickly succeeds in the music industry when he is released, and learns valuable lessons about loyalty along the way.
In this unforgettable picture, Elvis stars as a convict who serves a one year stretch in the pen on a manslaughter charge, only to emerge from prison as an overnight singing sensation! The movie features one of the greatest musical numbers ever caught on film as Presley performs the title song. This is an incredibly scarce poster for the original 1957 release for one of the King's greatest films.  Based on our research this is the only one that has ever been offered for sale as the top movie poster auction houses have no record of selling this large style movie poster.

The hair, the profile, the guitar...this poster from one of the King's most popular films includes all the images that the public has come to associate with the young, charismatic Elvis Presley. Material from his pre-service films, and Jailhouse Rock in particular, are among the most eagerly sought of his film collectibles.  And this is the only place you will see this extremely rare Large-style 30x40 for this film..

Co-Star Judy Tyler
After completing filming of Jailhouse Rock, Judy Tyler and her second husband, Greg Lafayette, left Los Angeles to drive back home to their apartment in Manhattan. While driving through Wyoming on July 3, 1957, they were involved in an automobile accident on U.S. Route 30 just 3 miles north of Rock River. Judy was killed instantly and Greg died the next day at a hospital in Laramie.

Elvis Presley, who co-starred with Tyler in Jailhouse Rock (1957) was stunned at the tragic news, never watched the movie after her death.
