Auction History Result 3p826 IN A LONELY PLACE style A 1/2sh 1950 huge Humphrey Bogart, Gloria Grahame, Nicholas Ray, rare! Date Sold 1/29/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style A Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) In a Lonely Place, the classic 1950 Nicholas Ray Hollywood screenwriting romantic crime film noir ("The Bogart suspense picture with the surprise finish-"; "Look deep into these eyes! Is it love, hate or murder? They're the eyes of Humphrey Bogart"; "Suspense mounts steadily right up to the surprise finish!"; about a troubled and possibly deranged screenwriter who becomes involved in the murder of a young woman and how that adversely affects his romantic relationship with his sexy neighbor) starring Humphrey Bogart (as Dixon Steele), Gloria Grahame, Frank Lovejoy, Carl Benton Reid, Art Smith, Jeff Donnell, Martha Stewart, Alix Talton, Morris Ankrum, Robert Warwick, James Griffith, Steven Geray, and Hadda Brooks (the jazz legend who has a brief appearance playing the piano). Note that star Gloria Grahame was married to director Nicholas Ray at the time this movie was made, but they had a very "difficult" relationship, and the marriage ended two years later under pretty dreadful circumstances (and it seems pretty likely that Nicholas Ray drew heavily from his own life in creating the title character of Dixon Steele)!

Important Added Info: Note that the one-sheet and lobby cards from this movie turn up at auctions regularly, but the inserts and half-sheets are far more rare. We have auctioned three inserts over the years, and only ONE half-sheet and that was in 2016 and it sold for $775! Note also that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good. The poster has really significant creases, defects, areas of paper loss and tears of varying lengths along parts of some edges. Some of the tears at right enter portions of the image of Bogart's face and there are several scuff marks scattered in various areas (especially to his left extending vertically from near his eye). Many of the tears are repaired with different types of tape from the back (especially at right). Certainly the ultra-rare half-sheet could be restored and paperbacked and it would look great, but please bear in mind its defects and cost of restoration before placing a bid.
