An Original 1947 (from the first release of this movie in France) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked French One-Panel "Grande" Movie Poster (1p; measures 47" x 64" [119 x 163 cm]) (Learn More) Lassie Come Home, the classic 1943 Fred M. Wilcox collie canine dog family melodrama ("The picture that's true to life!"; "Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Technicolor Triumph!"; "Based on the novel by Eric Knight, author of 'This Above All'"; "Eric Knight's great dog story 'Lassie Come Home'"; "All the thrilling and amazing tricks that made Lassie the most famous dog in the world.") starring Roddy McDowall, Donald Crisp, Dame May Whitty, Edmund Gwenn, Nigel Bruce, Elsa Lanchester, Lassie (in the title role), and Elizabeth Taylor. Note that this was Elizabeth Taylor's second movie, when she was 10 years old, and she had very low billing in this movie and the previous one. She would have two more movie roles with no billing at all in "Jane Eyre" and "White Cliffs of Dover", but then in 1945, she starred in "National Velvet", which made her a star. So her next movie, which was two years later, was a sequel to this movie called "Courage of Lassie", and she was given star billing, after having been seventh billed in this movie (and un-billed on the posters!) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Duccio Marvasi Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this French poster! The movie could not of course be released in France in 1943 when it was first made, because France had been conquered by the Nazis, and it was first released in France in 1947, and by that time, Elizabeth Taylor had grown greatly in popularity, and the French poster art, Duccio Marvasi, solely put Elizabeth Taylor on this poster with Lassie, and poor Roddy McDowall, the actual star of the movie, is nowhere to be seen!
