STRANGE CARGO

One Sheet (27" x 41"); Style C
Very Fine on Linen; Artwork by Armando Seguso
MGM, 1940

Two style one sheets were produced for this film, and this one, with outstanding Armando Seguso artwork, is a treasure. It is one of the best ever to feature the two stars and is a lasting tribute to one of the silver screen's finest teams.

This restored one sheet has had minor touch-ups and sporadic order airbrushing.

Strange Cargo remains easily one of Clark Gable's most complex and thought-provoking films. Gable stars as a convict who leads a group of escapees from a French penal colony on a perilous trek toward freedom. Along for the ride are girlfriend Joan Crawford and holy man Ian Hunter. This would be Crawford's eighth and final teaming with Gable.
