James Cagney in Shake Hands with the Devil - A Vintage First Screening Movie Poster

An original Finnish first-screening poster for Shake Hands with the Devil (1959), the United Artists Irish political drama starring James Cagney in a powerful, late-career dramatic turn, far removed from his gangster roles - alongside Don Murray. Directed by Michael Anderson. First and only Finnish cinema screening in 1959.

Printed by Piirtopaino Oy, Helsinki. Artist-signed in the plate. Standard Finnish A2, approximately 23.5 × 15.75 inches.

The Finnish design takes its own approach to the layout and the graphics are superb, a very fine example of vintage Finnish cinema poster art.

Condition: Very Good. Cinema-used with pinholes to the corners, original fold line visible. Handling creases present; no loss of paper, no nicks or tears to the edges.
