An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked French One-Panel Movie Poster (measures 45 3/4" x 63"; known as a 'grande' poster in France) (Learn More) Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life, the classic 1946 Frank Capra (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) banking family fantasy romantic melodrama ("Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! How could it be anything else!"; "They're going steady... straight to your heart!"; "It's a Wonderful Love!"; "Frank Capra's wonderfilm..."; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a man at the brink of suicide, and an angel appears who shows him all the good that he did, by showing him how his world would have been if he had never been born, and that renews his faith) starring James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart; nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; "America's Favorite Feller..."; as George Bailey), Donna Reed ("Jimmy's Favorite Girl..."; as Mary Bailey), Lionel Barrymore (as Mr. Potter), Thomas Mitchell (as Uncle Billy), Henry Travers (best remembered for playing Clarence the angel in this movie!), Beulah Bondi (as James Stewart's mom), Ward Bond (as Bert), Frank Faylen (as Ernie), Gloria Grahame (in a memorable role as Violet, the "bad" girl), H.B.

Important Added Info: Note that this movie is one of the most beloved movies of all time, but unfortunately, it received a very uninspired U.S. advertising campaign, with almost all of the U.S. posters having a very similar image (with a lot of white background). However, this French one-panel poster (which we have never seen before!) has a very wonderful completely different full artwork image, unlike any of the U.S. posters! Condition: very good. The poster was scratched diagonally in the bottom right corner, in Stewart's finger and in the left of the RKO logo. The poster had tiny paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases, tiny tears, and separation on parts of most foldlines, with a few tiny areas of paper loss in just a few small parts of some foldlines. There were some pinholes, creases, and a few tiny tears in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that the diagonal scratch in the bottom right corner was not touched up (it is quite possible it occurred after the poster was linenbacked), and the restorer left a very tiny border of excess linen around the edges (because they knew the poster would be framed). Certainly, I would think any collector would be very happy to have this great poster framed on their wall just as it is (its defects are truly very minor), and any restorer could perform slight additional touch up to the poster without re-backing the poster.
