Walthall. Note that the movie was originally filmed as a silent, and then had sound added, and the film is mostly lost, and is almost completely forgotten today, overshadowed by the 1944 version of this same novel, starring Lynn Bari, Akim Tamiroff and Francis Lederer NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: A. Wagener Important Added Info: Note that first release movie posters from this first movie version of Thornton Wilder's novel are incredible rare! We have previously auctioned only a U.S. window card in much lesser condition and a Swedish poster, but otherwise, we have never seen ANY first release posters from this movie, until we were consigned this Argentinean poster with a beautiful stone litho image (and while it is not a "country of origin" poster, the novel WAS set in South America, so it has that going for it as well!). Condition: very good to fine. The poster has slight staining in the right edge of the bottom of the blank border and very slight darkening in the left half of the middle horizontal fold, and a few faint brown stains scattered in the poster. Otherwise, the poster is in wonderful condition! Learn More about condition grades
