Auction History Result #142 SUMMER STORM linen 1sh '44 Darnell Date Sold 10/8/2002Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Anton Chekhov's Summer Storm, the 1944 Douglas Sirk pre-revolution Russia romantic love triangle melodrama ("She was an invitation to murder"; "Don't Go Near This Woman!"; "She Devil! So beautiful and so wicked!"; based on the novel 'The Shooting Party' by Anton Chekhov; about an upper class Russian man engaged to marry a woman of "his own class", but he falls for a beautiful peasant girl, and he destroys his life over her) starring George Sanders ("the Thunder"), Linda Darnell ("the Lightning"), Anna Lee, Hugo Haas, Lori Lehmer, Edward Everett Horton, John Abbott, Sig Ruman, John Phillber, and Robert Greig. Note that this movie bears marked similarities to G.W. Pabst's "Pandora's Box", but the Chekhov novel was written in 1884, and "Pandora's Box" comes from a different source. Also note that director Douglas Sirk (born "Detlef Sierck") had left Nazi Germany in 1941, after having made several German movies, and then he directed "Hitler's Madman" in 1943, which led to this movie the following year, and of course, in the 1950s, he gained a great following for his romantic melodramas!

It now looks great, and most dealers would describe it as "fine (or mint) on linen". We have noted the defects that were restored below (and feel everyone should always do this!). Many collectors would not be aware of the restoration this poster has had unless it was specifically shown to them! Condition: very good to fine. The poster has had restoration along the folds and in the corners.. Most of the linenbacked posters we sell were restored by the finest professionals. An expertly linenbacked poster will often appear "mint", as its defects have been made to "vanish". We are the only seller we are aware of who always tries to describe the condition of the poster prior to being linenbacked, so you are fully aware of what restoration was performed.
