Vintage original 27x41 in. US one-sheet poster from the classic 1950's Mexican-American farm laborer-themed drama/romance, MY MAN AND I, released in 1952 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and directed by William Wellman. In California, a Mexican-American (Ricardo Montalban) is falsely accused of killing the farmer he was working for, after the racist farmer stiffed his immigrant employee with a bad check. The cast includes Shelley Winters, Wendell Corey, Claire Trevor, Robert Burton, Jose Torvay, and Jack Elam.
The design features beautiful artwork depicting a very close shot of handsome Chu Chu Ramirez (Ricardo Montalban) tenderly holding Nancy (Shelley Winters) as she finds comfort in his arms. Unrestored and folded as originally issued, this vintage original one-sheet is in fine+ condition with a small chip on the right edge near the top foldline, random signs of wear around the edges, and some small scattered creases from handling over time. The beautiful color tints are fresh and vibrant without any signs of fading.
My Man and I was shot on location in the city of Calabasas and the San Joaquin Valley in California.
