Auction History Result 9a029 MANPOWER 1sh 1941 George Raft, Edward G. Robinson, sexy Marlene Dietrich, Raoul Walsh! Date Sold 9/15/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Manpower, the 1941 Raoul Walsh power-company-road-crew melodrama ("Here's that T.N.T. star-combination that had the news wires sizzling!"; "A Warner Bros. Hit!"; "The Sensational new Warner Bros. hit!"; "TNTrio!"; "All together") starring Edward G. Robinson ("He's mad about Dietrich!"), Marlene Dietrich ("She's mad about Raft!"), George Raft ("He's mad about the whole thing!"), Alan Hale Sr., Frank McHugh, Eve Arden, Walter Catlett, Ward Bond, Joyce Compton, Lucia Carroll, and Barbara Pepper. Note that this was the first time that Robinson and Raft worked together, and they had a very bad relationship on the set, to the point where George Raft physically struck Edward G. Robinson, and Robinson threatened to walk off the picture! Not surprisingly, they only made one more movie together, and that was 14 years later! 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 this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thin paper backing, it can be sent rolled (however, it will be rolled with the image outward, because paperbacked posters should always be rolled that way, while linen posters are always rolled with the image inward), and it will likely need to be sent in a 6" tube, because rolling it more tightly might damage the poster.

Prior to paperbacking, the poster had surface paper loss on the folds, with an extra vertical fold that also had small tears and tiny paper loss. There were pinholes, tears, and paper loss around the edges, and a 6" semi-circular tear near the center of the poster, in the right side of Dietrich's coat. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to paperbacking. Someone backed the poster onto a thin paper backing, but did no real restoration (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
