An Original 1950 (from the first release of this movie in Germany) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked German "A1" Movie Poster (measures 23" x 33" [58 x 84 cm]) (Learn More) The Chronicle History of King Henry the Fifth with His Battell Fought at Agincourt in France (released in the U.S. in 1947 as "William Shakespeare's Henry V"), the classic 1944 Laurence Olivier English adaptation-of-the-classic-play-by-William-Shakespeare (nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Leslie Banks, Felix Aylmer, Laurence Olivier (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; in the title role as King Henry V of England), Robert Helpmann, Vernon Greeves, Gerald Case, George Robey (as Sir John Falstaff), Freda Jackson, and Renee Asherson. Note that the IMDb says that this movie was released in the U.S. in 1946, but we know that there are lobby cards and stills that are dated both 1944 and 1945, so there was at least an intended release late in 1944 or in early 1945. We wonder if perhaps it first played in very limited release in late 1944 in the U.S. and that there was at least a further limited release in 1947. We know that it received a full scale re-release from United Artists in 1950, but that could have been its first major U.S. release. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this German poster, and that was 16 years ago. That poster has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned! What IS linenbacking?

The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and a few tiny creases and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of the folds. It had small paper loss in the green background area to the left of Olivier's shirt. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
