Auction History Result 7v531 DADDY LONG LEGS 3sh '55 wonderful full-length art of dancing Fred Astaire & Leslie Caron! Date Sold 10/13/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81") (Learn More) Daddy Long Legs, the 1955 Jean Negulesco romantic dance musical ("From the novel by Jean Webster"; "Ballets by Roland Petit"; about a middle aged millionaire who meets an 18 year old girl in an orphanage, and he is in love with her, but restrains himself and sends her to college, but after several years, they fall in love) starring Fred Astaire, Leslie Caron, Terry Moore, Thelma Ritter, Fred Clark, Charlotte Austin, Larry Keating, Kathryn Givney, Kelly Brown, and Ray Anthony and His Orchestra. Note that this movie was based on a play and novel by Jean Webster from 1912. It was made into a silent movie in 1919 starring Mary Pickford, and was remade as a sound film in 1931 with Janet Gaynor, and then was significantly altered so that Shirley Temple could play the lead in "Curly Top" in 1935, and then was remade as this movie. Obviously, it is extremely unlikely that this plot will ever be used again, because in today's world, a story about a middle aged man falling in love with an 18 year old that he "adopts" is very inappropriate! 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 three-sheet was printed in 2 sections. Note that the theater that used this poster glued the two pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used three-sheets). Condition: good to very good. There is a censor stamp in the top right corner and some white conservation tape on the back of a few crossfolds and on small parts of the back of the foldlines, mending separations. There are some water stains on the foldlines that were on the outside when the poster was fully folded. Learn More about condition grades
