Rare Paramount Pictures Release – Film Noir / Crime Drama Collectible
An original US Insert poster for In the Wake of a Stranger (1962), directed by David Eady and starring Tony Wright, Shirley Eaton, Harry H. Corbett, and Willoughby Goddard. Based on the novel by Ian Stuart Black, this gritty British crime drama follows the “strangest case in the annals of Scotland Yard,” involving a disappearing corpse that set the underworld of Liverpool on edge.
The artwork is a striking example of early 1960s poster design, featuring deep blues, shadowy figures, and bold red lettering that captures the intrigue and suspense of the story. This piece is especially notable for fans of Shirley Eaton, who later became famous for her iconic role in Goldfinger (1964).
