A 1955 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Folded Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 cm]) (Learn More) The Philadelphia Story, the classic 1940 George Cukor (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) Pennsylvania romantic love triangle wedding comedy ("Howl with your happiest Hollywood stars!"; "Broadway's howling year-run comedy hit of the snooty society beauty who slipped and fell - in love!"; "Based on the play by Philip Barry"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a divorced socialite who is planning to remarry and have no press coverage, but her ex-husband is jealous, and he arranges through blackmail to have a reporter and a photographer attend, and many complications ensue) starring Cary Grant ("...he's a smoothie!"), Katharine Hepburn (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; "...she's a wild red-head!"), James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart; winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; "...he's a devil in the moonlight!"), Ruth Hussey (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), John Howard, Roland Young, John Halliday, Mary Nash, and Virginia Weidler. Note that James Stewart won the Best Actor Academy Award for this film and many feel it was to repay him for not winning the year before for Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, but that is especially ironic, because he was given the Oscar over Henry Fonda in The Grapes of Wrath, who surely deserved it! Also note that this movie was remade in 1955 as the musical High Society, with Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, and Frank Sinatra in the lead roles. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Jacques Kapralik Important Added Info: Note that the poster says "AN MGM MASTERPIECE REPRINT" in the bottom right. This was a terminology used by MGM at this time for some re-releases, and it has caused some collectors to be confused! This poster is the original poster from the 1955 re-release of this movie, and is NOT a "reprint"! Also note that this three-sheet was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Condition: very good. There are some creases and several tears along the foldlines that were on the outside when the poster was fully folded. There are some creases, smudges, and tiny tears on the other foldlines, and some tiny paper loss at some crossfolds. Other than the above, the poster is in pretty nice condition!
