Auction History Result B293a NIGHT AT THE OPERA linen Spanish one-sheet movie poster '35 Hirschfeld Date Sold 3/16/2004Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (printed in Spanish in the U.S. for Spanish audiences; 27" x 41") (Learn More) A Night at the Opera, the classic 1935 Sam Wood screwball musical opera romantic comedy starring the Marx Brothers (Groucho Marx as Otis B. Driftwood, Chico Marx as Fiorello, and Harpo Marx as Tomasso), Kitty Carlisle (as Rosa Castaldi), Allan Jones (as Ricardo Baroni), Walter Woolf King (billed as "Walter King"; as Rodolfo Lassparri), Sig Ruman (as Herbert Gottlieb), and Margaret Dumont (as Mrs. Claypool). Note that MGM added a romantic plot to the Marx Bros. typical screwball comedy, and it really adds to the movie, as Carlisle and Jones have real chemistry together, and their songs are excellent. Of course, this is also the movie that has the Marx Bros.' most famous comedy scene, the "stateroom" scene, plus the great scene of Groucho and Chico attempting to sign a contract! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Al Hirschfeld Important Added Info: Note that this poster was printed in the United States for use at theaters with Spanish speaking audiences. Condition: good to very good. The borders of the poster were slightly tattered and new paper has been very carefully placed over much of the old paper (it was extremely well done, and I would bet that hardly anyone could tell, even close-up). There was paper loss at each crossfold and three other small areas of paper loss in the vertical fold (fortunately, each is in a blank background area). There were 3 areas of paper loss in the bottom foldline (including 1 in Carlisle's left cheek). Fortunately, there was virtually no paper loss anywhere in the title area or in the Hirschfeld artwork. Aside from the above defects, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking, and it really looks quite nice now. I would think most collectors would be quite happy to display this poster! Learn More about condition grades
