Auction History Result 8g666 GREAT EXPECTATIONS 1/2sh R1953 Charles Dickens, Hull, Jane Wyatt, Phillips Holmes, Mr. Pip! Date Sold 8/2/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1953 Re-Release (re-titled "Mr. Pip" for There is a snipe at re-release) Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Charles Dickens' Great Expectations, the 1934 Stuart Walker coming-of-age in England melodrama (based on Charles Dickens' classic tale; "Charles Dickens' immortal classic"; "The movie treat of the season!") starring Henry Hull (as Magwitch), Phillips Holmes (as the adult Pip), Jane Wyatt (as Estella), Florence Reed (as Miss Havisham), Alan Hale Sr., and George P. Breakston (as the young Pip). Note that Phillips Holmes had made an impression in some movies in the late 1920s. In 1931, he would get the lead in the first version of "An American Tragedy", which made it seem like he would become a major star, but that didn't materialize. He had a major affair with Libby Holman, but that was certainly complicated, and when they broke up, she immediately married his brother! Oddly, years later, Holman would have another very complicated affair with Montgomery Clift, who played the same part in the remake of "An American Tragedy", retitled "A Place in the Sun". Sadly, Holmes died in a plane crash in 1942. I am very surprised no one has made a movie about his life, or a joint movie about him and Libby Holman! 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 poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
