One-Eyed Jacks (1961) - (Marlon Brando) US one-sheet
Pictured above are a 27" x 41" US one-sheet poster and a 41" x 81" three-piece Mexican three-sheet poster for the 1961 Marlon Brando film One-Eyed Jacks based on the Charles Neider novel The Authentic Death of Hendry Jones with screenplay by Guy Trosper and Calder Willingham and starring Marlon Brando as Rio. Plot summary: In Sonora Mexico in 1880 Rio and his partner Dad Longworth [Karl Malden] rob a bank of two bags of gold, but during their attempted escape Dad betrays Rio and leaves him to be captured and imprisoned. Rio spends five years in a prison in Sonora. After his release he finds that his former pal Longworth has become sheriff of Monterey; their conflicts resume, initially behind a thin veneer of cordiality and then much more openly. This is the only film directed by Marlon Brando; it is considered a precursor for Sergio Leone's spaghetti Westerns a few years later, where audiences learned for the first time to identify with the "bad guys" in Western movies.
