Auction History Result 7x372 WONDERFUL WORLD OF THE BROTHERS GRIMM special 21x31 '62 George Pal fairy tales, Cinerama! Date Sold 10/18/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Unfolded Special Movie Poster (measures 21" x 31") (Learn More) The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm, the 1962 Henry Levin & George Pal ("Fairy Tales directed by George Pal") fairy tale musical fantasy ("Share the true-life adventures of two famous story-telling brothers... and see their fabulous stories actually come to life!"; "'Wonderful' ...is the word for it!"; "Wonderful songs! Wonderful dances! Wonderful color!"; "In wonderful color!"; "Wonderful romances, dances, adventures! Stars, songs, story!"; "Based on 'Die Bruder Grimm' by Dr. Hermann Gerstner"; "Screen Story by David P. Harmon") starring Laurence Harvey (in the title role as Wilhelm Grimm), Claire Bloom, Karlheinz Bohm (in the title role as Jacob Grimm), Walter Slezak, Oscar Homolka, Barbara Eden, Yvette Mimieux, Russ Tamblyn, Jim Backus, Beulah Bondi, Terry-Thomas, and Buddy Hackett. Note that this movie opened to a very limited number of theaters in Cinerama, and after its initial engagement, it played in many theaters NOT in Cinerama. Very, very few items survive from the initial Cinerama release. None of them are regular sized posters, surely because the Cinerama theaters that it premiered at made their own posters! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Reynold Brown Important Added Info: Note that there have always been two incredibly elusive titles for collectors of Cinerama posters from Cinerama movies. One is "How the West Was Won", and there are a few posters that are POSSIBLY from the 1962 U.S. Cinerama release (but there is doubt about them), and the other is this title, "The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm", and, as far as I know, no one has ever seen a single original U.S. Cinerama poster from this movie! Also note that this poster is unusual, in that the Cinerama logo is printed vertically on the far right of the poster, and is separated from the rest of the artwork. I don't know why this was done, but it certainly seems possible that the movie producers were thinking ahead, and that they knew that some theaters would have the Cinerama equipment and some would not, and they made the poster this way to allow theaters to trim off the Cinerama part if they were not showing it in Cinerama. If anyone knows more about this poster and why it was printed this way, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good to very good. There are light brown stains along the left edge of the poster as well as a few small tears around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
