An exceptional image advertising the 1949 re-release by RKO Radio Pictures, Inc. of Pride of the Yankees. One of the greatest sports films ever made, a portrait of courage, starring Gary Cooper as Lou Gehrig, Theresa Wright, & Babe Ruth as himself, nominated for 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture. "It's the Great American Story" at top left. The film was an unequalled account of the storied life and baseball career of New York's Iron Horse. This poster is graphically superior to the 1942 original because is boasts a great image of Babe Ruth swinging in Yankees pinstripe at lower left. Poster is lightly restored to EX-MT condition and linen-backed.
