An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Jumbo Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 22" x 28 1/4") (Learn More) San Francisco, the 1936 W.S. Van Dyke (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) California historical romantic melodrama ("They were born to fall in love!"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; it included a recreation of the famous San Francisco earthquake and fire!) starring Clark Gable, Jeanette MacDonald (billed as "Together for the first time in San Francisco"), Spencer Tracy (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Jack Holt, Ted Healy (most famous as the person who started The Three Stooges; they were first billed as "Ted Healy and his Stooges"; he let them go on their own, hiring replacement "Stooges", but that did not work out well at all!), Margaret Irving, and Jessie Ralph NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Condition: fair to good. The poster had many creases, smudges, and stains scattered throughout. There were creases and tears around the edges of the poster with a long jagged tear running down the center of MacDonald's body. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to paperbacking. Given the extent of the poster's defects, the restorer did a pretty nice job, but they overpainted a large amount of the image area, and you can tell that the poster is heavily restored. After the poster was backed, it was roughly handled, and there is now a crease in the middle of the right border, extending to the right of the "O" FRANCISCO", and extending diagonally down through the "C" of "TRACY" (and the crease was so rough that it has caused the poster to be slightly torn on the surface of that crease).
