An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) National Velvet, the classic 1944 Clarence Brown (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) horse racing sports gambling family relationship melodrama ("MGM's great technicolor heart drama"; "Based on the novel 'National Velvet' by Enid Bagnold"; about a young English girl whose father is a butcher and her mother was a former English Channel swimmer, and she dreams of owning a race horse that will win the Grand National Steeplechase, and with the support of her parents and a young man of dubious character, she fulfills her dreams) starring Mickey Rooney, Donald Crisp (as Mr. Brown), Angela Lansbury, Elizabeth Taylor (in the title role as Velvet Brown), Anne Revere (winner of the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film; as Mrs. Brown), Jackie 'Butch' Jenkins (billed as "Jackie Jenkins"; in his third movie role!), Eugene Loring, and King Charles (as The Pi; after the movie, Elizabeth Taylor was given King Charles as her personal horse!) 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 poster (we have only auctioned two examples of it in the past, and both were in "good to very good" condition, and we have never auctioned a half-sheet.) For unknown reasons, but perhaps relating to World War II, MGM made a two color one-sheet for this classic movie and it is very disappointing. This insert has a great fill color montage of images of the top stars, plus a scene from the climactic race, and it is FAR more desirable than the one-sheet! Note also 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: very good. There is a NSS stamp on back that slightly bleeds through to the front at upper right (in the blank border and in tiny portions of he blue background). The poster otherwise only has some very minor fold and border wear and is overall in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
