GENE KRUPA STORY

Original U.S. 27 inch x 41 inch 1-Sheet Poster for the 1959 Don Weis Musical Drama THE GENE KRUPA STORY starring Sal Mineo as Gene Krupa, Susan Kohner, James Darren and Susan Oliver.

The early development of jazz drummer Gene Krupa is chronicled in this somewhat fictionalized musical biography. Rejecting his father’s plan for him to join the priesthood, Krupa instead embraces music, where he wins fame — and experiences its dark side, including drug addiction.

The poster is in good folded condition with a 4 inch tear at the top edge, slight fold splitting and corner pinholes.
