Auction History Result 1b0177 RAINTREE COUNTY 2sh 1957 art of Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor & Eva Marie Saint, rare! Date Sold 11/23/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Two-Sheet Movie Poster (2sh; measures 41" x 53 1/4" [104 x 135 cm]) (Learn More) Raintree County, the 1957 Edward Dmytryk Civil War romantic love triangle melodrama ("MGM presents in MGM Camera 65 'Window of the World' 'Raintree County' In the great tradition of Civil War romance"; "Based on the Novel by Ross Lockridge Jr."; about a man trapped in a loveless marriage, and he gets reacquainted with his childhood sweetheart, set against the backdrop of the Civil War) starring Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Eva Marie Saint, Nigel Patrick, Lee Marvin, Rod Taylor, Agnes Moorehead, Walter Abel, Jarma Lewis, and Tom Drake. Note that during filming, Montgomery Clift was in a horrific car accident after leaving Elizabeth Taylor's house one evening (she and Rock Hudson reportedly pulled him from the wreck, and Taylor saved him from choking on his own teeth!). Sadly, despite several surgeries to his face, Clift's injuries were still visible, and his health deteriorated after the crash. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Wallace Bassford Important Added Info: Note that this is a very rare two-sheet poster for this movie (over the years, I have seen many one-sheets, but this is only the second time I have auctioned this size!). I know that it might seem possible that this is an incomplete three-sheet, but there is an NSS number in the bottom right corner, which would not be there on a three-sheet, and the small credits would not be in the middle of the poster. On the other hand, it was stamped "RAINTREE 3sheet" on the back, but of course, that could be a mistake. What is most strange is that we have NEVER auctioned a first release three-sheet from this movie, and we have auctioned four of these "two-sheets"! This two-sheet was NOT printed in 2 sections, as many two-sheets were, but was printed in one section (but it measures 41" x 53 1/4", which means that it is a two-sheet, and NOT a 40x60). Condition: very good to fine. The poster was likely never used and has minor fold and border wear. Learn More about condition grades
