Auction History Result 9m0347 ROSE-MARIE linen pre-war Belgian 1928 art of Joan Crawford & Mountie James Murray, ultra rare! Date Sold 8/8/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Belgian Movie Poster (measures 23 1/4" x 30 3/4" [59 x 78 cm]) (Learn More) Rose-Marie, the 1928 Lucien Hubbard silent Royal Canadian Mounted Police Mountie romantic love triangle melodrama ("Based on the famous stage production."; about a beautiful girl at a Canadian trading post, who loves an outlaw wanted for murder, and there is a Canadian Mountie after the outlaw who loves her too!) starring Joan Crawford (in the title role as Rose-Marie), James Murray, House Peters, Creighton Hale, and Lou Costello (in a bit part). Note that filming on this movie started in 1926 with a different director and with Renee Adoree as the star, but the movie was abandoned. In 1928, MGM dusted off the old footage and completed it with Joan Crawford in the starring role. Of course, this movie is overshadowed by the classic 1936 sound version starring Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy! Also, this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. 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 we have never before auctioned this Belgian poster! Also note that this is a rare "pre-War" Belgian poster. Prior to World War II, Belgian posters were much larger than the ones from after the war, and they are extremely rare (because during WWII, there was a massive paper shortage in Belgium, and they took virtually every poster and map, and printed new posters on the backs of them!).

The poster's top blank border was trimmed off, and it had some tiny bits of paper loss on small parts of some folds, and a 2" tear near the middle of the left border. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer replaced the missing top blank border, and it is not very noticeable (and of course, it will barely show when the poster is framed). Learn More about condition grades
