A 1951 Re-Release Theatrical Mounted on Thin Linen French One-Panel "Grande" Movie Poster (1p; measures 47" x 63" [119 x 160 cm]) (Learn More) City Lights, the classic 1931 Charlie Chaplin silent romantic comedy melodrama (written and directed by Charles Chaplin; Chaplin is a Tramp who befriends a blind flower seller, and he loves her, but is afraid she can't return his love; the movie includes a memorable boxing scene, and a wonderful final scene where the girl is cured of her blindness) starring Charles Chaplin, Virginia Cherrill, Florence Lee, Harry Myers, Al Ernest Garcia, and Hank Mann. Note that Charlie Chaplin stood alone against the coming of sound to movies, and he made this movie as a silent movie, although it had a soundtrack which included the song "Smile", which Chaplin himself wrote. He would release another silent movie, "Modern Times", in 1936, and then finally agreed to make sound pictures! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Also note that the poster was originally folded but it has been mounted on to a thin linen and will need to be sent rolled in a 50" tube, so bear this expense in mind before bidding. Condition: fair to good. The poster had small paper loss at the crossfolds and some tiny bits of paper loss on parts of the folds. It had some smudges and scuffs scattered through the poster with many small brown dot stains scattered in the bottom half of the poster. Someone mounted the poster on to very thin linen with no restoration and no excess. Please bear all this in mind before bidding on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
