An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style B One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Buccaneer, the 1938 Cecil B. DeMille seafaring Navy Naval sailor military biographical pirate romantic adventure melodrama ("Based on an adaptation by Jeanie Macpherson of 'Lafitte the Pirate' by Lyle Saxon"; a highly fictionalized biography of the famous 18th century pirate Jean Lafitte, who operated for many years off of New Orleans, but because he did not attack any American ships, he was somewhat tolerated by the American government) starring Fredric March (as Jean Lafitte), Franciska Gaal, Akim Tamiroff, Margot Grahame, Walter Brennan, Ian Keith, Anthony Quinn, Douglass Dumbrille, Beulah Bondi, Robert Barrat, and Evelyn Keyes (making her debut in a tiny role). Note that all of the U.S. posters for this movie that have art have really distinctive art. All of it is by an artist named "Dan Sayre Groesbeck". But several of the posters are unsigned, and others are signed with only parts of his name, and in different ways (perhaps the artist was just being "playful"). Groesbeck worked for DeMille creating his concept art and some of his poster art from the early 1920s until he passed away in 1950! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Dan Sayre Groesbeck Important Added Info: Note that both styles of first release one-sheet for this movie are extremely rare! In our 25 years of auctioning, we have auctioned three examples of the style B poster (and the last time was 15 years ago), and never the style A! Now, we have not only been consigned one of these one-sheets, but we have been consigned BOTH of them (they are in separate auctions)! Condition: very good. The poster has an extra vertical fold 1/2" to the right of the regular one, but otherwise, the poster is in nice condition. It has two pieces of conservation tape on the back of the top of the poster, surely from when it was attached to a mat. Learn More about condition grades
