Actually THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY isn't a John Wayne movie

He whistles the main theme, for crying out loud. The Duke owns that movie. What are you, unAmerican?



The High and the Mighty
Music by Dimitri Tiomkin
Lyrics by Ned Washington
Whistled by Muzzy Marcellino


If Wayne wasn't in it, it would be more obscure than it now is.


Without a doubt. I hardly watch it anymore, just for the music. Maybe I would if the original actor cast had done it - Spencer Tracy.

Then it would be a Tracy movie.

What was the first movie poster to sport those little square portraits of the actors along the bottom?

The Best Years of Our Lives (1946). A Fredric March movie!

Just the bottom? Maybe one of these.






Some films had so many stars they started to run up the sides.




Others like AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS and THE LONGEST DAY took up the whole poster. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS only did it on their re-release poster.

Good one but that is more like a group portrait on the bottom. When they did individual ones they put them in a circle. DUEL IN THE SUN always went up top. But I did find this 1952 one:

Not one of the first, but may be difficult to top for sheer quantity of actor portraits in little boxes ....

We had a separate thread on the "little boxes" topic, with dozens more examples, here:
