Original British 30 inch x 40 inch Quad Poster for the 1949 Tay Garnett Fantasy Comedy A YANKEE IN KING ARTHUR’S COURT (A CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN KING ARTHUR’S COURT), based on the novel by Mark Twain and starring Bing Crosby, Rhonda Fleming, Cedric Hardwicke, William Bendix, Murvyn Vye, Virginia Field, Henry Wilcoxon and Alan Napier.
The film is about a mechanic in 1912 who bangs his head and wakes up in Arthurian Britain in AD 528, where he is befriended by a knight and gains power by judicious use of technology. When he falls in love with the King’s niece, her fiancé Sir Lancelot takes exception, and when he meddles in the politics of the kingdom, trouble ensues.
Poster printed by Leonard Ripley & Co. Vauxhall SE11 and Hampton Hill
