Auction History Result 7k139 BLOOD & SAND linen trade ad '32 sensational new leading man Cary Grant, Tallulah Bankhead Date Sold 11/30/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Trade Ad (measures 17" x 23" [43 x 58 cm]) (Learn More) Blood and Sand, the aborted 1932 Richard Wallace bullfighting matador romantic melodrama starring Cary Grant (billed as "the sensational new leading man"), and Tallulah Bankhead. This film was going to be a remake of the classic 1922 silent film of the same name (which starred Rudolph Valentino and which was based on the novel by Ibanez), but 1932 was the height of The Great Depression, and Paramount was on the verge of going broke, and they fired many of their top stars (including Tallulah Bankhead, who had been intended to star in this movie), and they canceled this movie (but they wisely kept rising star Cary Grant under contract, even though they were having trouble making their rent payments)! There is no telling how this movie would have turned out, but it seems quite sad that it never was made! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this trade ad surely came from the 1931/32 Paramount studio yearbook. Someone took the two-page spread and had it linenbacked (of course, there were never any posters for this movie, because it was canceled before it could go into production). What IS linenbacking? Learn More Condition: very good. The two pages of the ad were removed from the studio yearbook and then linenbacked. The pages had a few creases and tiny tears in the borders prior to linenbacking. The pages were nicely backed, and display well! Learn More about condition grades
