Carrol Naish 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 one-sheet is extremely rare. We have only previously auctioned a three-sheet from this movie, and we have never before auctioned a one-sheet! Note that this one-sheet is one of the 28 folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction that were not consigned to us by Dominique Besson. It was consigned to us by another collector, but that in no way diminishes this poster, and it fits well with the Besson collection. What is the Dominique Besson collection? He started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that while Mr. Besson collected a few 1930s posters, he included them in other categories, so this one-sheet is being auctioned in a category that we have labeled "1930s" (there are only five of those). Condition: good. There are faint water stains scattered in the middle of the poster (mostly in the middle of the word "BROADWAY" and in the background below it). There are pinholes, creases, and some tears around the edges. There is paper loss in the bottom right blank corner and a 5" tear in the lower left border, with tiny paper loss at the left end of it in the blank border. This is the sort of poster that responds really well to professional restoration. It is likely that much or all of the light water staining can be removed through chemical means, and after the border defects are restored, this very rare poster will look fantastic.
