An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) A Family Affair, the 1937 George B. Seitz "Andy Hardy family" Depression era family relationship legal lawyer courtroom comedy (about a kindly judge and his family; the first of the very popular "Andy Hardy" series of movies; interestingly, in this first movie, Lionel Barrymore plays Judge Hardy rather than Lewis Stone, and he is the focus of the movie, and Mickey Rooney is fourth billed, but in the second movie, Lewis Stone became the judge/father, and Rooney and his character soon took over the series, and his father the judge became a very secondary character!) starring Lionel Barrymore (as Judge Hardy), Cecilia Parker, Eric Linden, Mickey Rooney (as Andy Hardy), Charlie Grapewin and Spring Byington 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 although this is the very first Andy Hardy movie, MGM did not picture Mickey Rooney on the one-sheet or the title card (the insert, which we have seen, has a tiny inset image of him). We have not seen the half-sheet or window card, so we don't know if he is pictured on those. It seems really amazing (in retrospect) that Mickey Rooney only appears on one of the eight cards of the lobby card set! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had surface paper loss at the crossfolds and some tears and small paper loss on the vertical fold, including in the right side of Linden's face. It had a lesser amount of wear on the horizontal folds and some pinholes and tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
