An Original 1936 (from the first release of this movie in the Netherlands) Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Dutch Movie Poster (measures 25 1/2" x 39" [65 x 99 cm]) (Learn More) Curly Top, the 1935 Irving Cummings orphan juvenile musical melodrama starring Shirley Temple ("She Sings, She Dances, She Charms"), John Boles, Rochelle Hudson, Jane Darwell, and Rafaela Ottiano. 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 this movie, and then was remade with Fred Astaire and Leslie Caron in 1955. 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! Also note that this was the last movie Shirley Temple made for Fox Films. Her next movie was made after it merged with 20th Century Pictures, and became 20th Century-Fox. During that time, Fox's number one star, Will Rogers died in a plane crash, and surprisingly, Shirley Temple became the studio's new number one star! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had two small areas of paper loss in the bottom border (almost completely in the blank area, just slightly extending into the image background, plus a thin strip of paper loss in the top of the right blank border, just slightly entering the image background). There was a foreign stamp in the top left background area. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well (the restorer left alone the foreign stamp, which is not distracting). Learn More about condition grades
