Description: 1956 The Conqueror Movie Print Ad John Wayne Downwinders Atomic Fallout This ad has a tragic back story. The 1956 film The Conqueror was filmed in the Escalante Desert near St. George, Utah, which is 137 miles downwind of the Nevada National Security Site. The film's set was contaminated by nuclear fallout, and 91 of the 220 cast and crew members developed cancer. 46 of those died, likely due to exposure to nuclear fallout during the shoot. Taken from Feb 1956 issue of LIFE Magazine. **See Photos for dimensions of the Advertisement. ------- Thanks for checking out this item. Please carefully view all of the photos for this listing - they are an important part of the description. I don't use stock photos or pictures sourced from third parties. The pictures you see are taken by me and show the product you're buying. Depending on the light, the pictures may not reflect the true color.

I'm happy to combine shipping when you purchase multiple items. Just buy the items, and then wait until you are invoiced to pay (within one business day). Unless noted above, all of my ephemera products are Original and free of rips or tears. Vintage print ads invariably have some degree of wear, especially near the binding. Also, some fading is possible, as is the smudge or run of inks during production. If it's obvious that color has bled due to exposure to humidity or water exposure, you will see a***CONDITION NOTE*** above. The small holes resulting from saddle-stitch (staple binding) may or may not be present on the piece. They will NOT be noted unless they're abnormal in some way. If their presence might affect your decision to purchase, or your satisfaction upon receipt, please feel free to ask first. I'm happy to provide additional details. As always, and as stated above, my pictures are your best source of information about this piece. As expected with vintage paper, there may be some natural darkening, and foxing may be present. I do not sell ephemera with evidence of mold, mildew, odor, or pest damage. Generally speaking, I will not offer for sale an item with any substantial condition issues unless it's of great quality, scarcity, or it has some other exceptional characteristic, and the issues would be described in detail.
