An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Belgian Movie Poster (measures 24 1/2" x 33 1/2" [62 x 85 cm]) (Learn More) Eight Bells, the 1935 Roy William Neill romantic love triangle adventure melodrama ("A beautiful girl and 60 maddened men... fighting for a chance at life!"; "Trapped on a sinking ship.. ...they mutinied against law and convention.. fought for one fleeting hour of life!"; "From the play by Percy Mandley"; about the daughter of a steamship owner who stows away on one of his ships, alone with 60 men, and both the captain and the first mate fall in love with her, and then the crew mutinies and the ship goes through a typhoon to boot) starring Ann Sothern, Ralph Bellamy, John Buckler, Catherine Doucet, and Arthur Hohl. Note that you probably don't recognize the name "John Buckler" and wonder how he was third billed in this movie! He was the son of a noted English actor, Hugh Buckler, and they came to Hollywood, and it looked like the son was off to having a promising career, with parts in David Copperfield and Tarzan Escapes, but after making that movie, both father and son were out driving in Malibu, and their car went off the road and into the ocean, and both men died, and John Buckler was just 30 years old. 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 is a rare "pre-War" Belgian poster. Prior to World War II, Belgian posters were much larger than the ones from after the war, and they are extremely rare (because during WWII, there was a massive paper shortage in Belgium, and they took virtually every poster and map, and printed new posters on the backs of them!). Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster has become somewhat brittle with age and there is minor separation at the crossfold and there is some discoloration and tattering and small paper loss around the edges. There are some creases scattered throughout the poster from it being oddly folded at one time but they are not very noticeable or distracting. Learn More about condition grades
