An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Argentinean Movie Poster (measures approximately 29" x 43") (Learn More) Humoresque, the 1946 Jean Negulesco tragic romantic melodrama ("A woman with a stormy heart she couldn't control!"; "A beautiful woman is most dangerous when she's in love!"; "'Love me now,' she said, 'hate me later'... and then all the warmth of their nearness engulfed these two who met and kissed and shouldn't have met again!"; "Screen Play by Clifford Odets and Zachary Gold"; "Based on a Story by Fannie Hurst"; about a rich society woman who becomes obsessed with a much younger brilliant violinist; he returns her love, but also loves a much younger woman, with tragic consequences; sort of a cross between "Golden Boy" and "Sunset Boulevard") starring Joan Crawford ("The winner of the 1945 Academy award for 'Mildred Pierce' in another history-making role!"), John Garfield, Oscar Levant, J. Carrol Naish, Robert 'Bobby' Blake, Joan Chandler, and Ruth Nelson 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: This Argentinean poster measures approximately 29" x 43" and is linenbacked. Condition: good. This poster was linenbacked, but it was either NOT linenbacked by a very talented restorer, OR it was linenbacked many years ago, and has received rough handling over the years, OR it had fairly significant defects that were not restorated at all. If it was restored, you can clearly see signs of the restoration even from a distance. This is a poster that would greatly benefit from additional professional restoration. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had an 8" diagonal tear starting in Crawford's hair at left and running down to between her eyes. There was a 2" tear below Crawford's right eye running into her hair. There was surface paper loss in the middle of the image. There were many smudges, creases, and tears around the edges of the image and along the foldlines. The person who did the backing did their best to restore the poster, but you can still see signs of the restoration throughout, even from a distance. Learn More about condition grades
