An Original 1947 (from the first release of this movie in Belgium) Vintage Theatrical Folded Belgian Movie Poster (measures 16" x 19 1/2" [41 x 50 cm]) (Learn More) The Philadelphia Story, the classic 1940 George Cukor (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) Pennsylvania romantic love triangle wedding comedy ("Howl with your happiest Hollywood stars!"; "Broadway's howling year-run comedy hit of the snooty society beauty who slipped and fell - in love!"; "Based on the play by Philip Barry"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a divorced socialite who is planning to remarry and have no press coverage, but her ex-husband is jealous, and he arranges through blackmail to have a reporter and a photographer attend, and many complications ensue) starring Cary Grant ("...he's a smoothie!"), Katharine Hepburn (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; "...she's a wild red-head!"), James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart; winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; "...he's a devil in the moonlight!"), Ruth Hussey (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), John Howard, Roland Young, John Halliday, Mary Nash, and Virginia Weidler. Note that James Stewart won the Best Actor Academy Award for this film and many feel it was to repay him for not winning the year before for Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, but that is especially ironic, because he was given the Oscar over Henry Fonda in The Grapes of Wrath, who surely deserved it! Also note that this movie was remade in 1955 as the musical High Society, with Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, and Frank Sinatra in the lead roles. 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 can't say for certain that this poster is from 1947. The IMDB says that this is when this classic movie was first released in Belgium, but sometimes they have inaccurate dates. It is possible that this poster is from a few years later, and it is also slightly possible that there is an earlier Belgian poster for this movie (but if so, we have never seen it). Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept these uncertainties. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 16" x 19 1/2" [41 x 50 cm]. 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 originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this is commonly done with Belgian posters, similar to how the blank top is trimmed off of U.S. window cards). There is small separation in the ends of the center horizontal fold and there is some slight discoloration and a partial ink pad stamp at lower left in the blank border. It has a few extra horizontal folds above the center horizontal fold, but is otherwise in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
