Note that Frank Capra re-made this movie in 1961 (his very final movie) with Bette Davis in the lead role, under the title of "Pocketful of Miracles". Also note that this was the very famous movie where, at the Academy Awards ceremony that year, Will Rogers was presenting the Best Director Award, and he looked at the winner's name, and called out "Come on up here, Frank!", and Frank Capra started running down the aisle, so happy he had won an Academy Award, only to discover that it was actually Frank Lloyd who had won! That must have been a really long walk back to his seat! 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 an extremely rare poster. We have only auctioned two examples in all our years of auctioning! We auctioned this same poster in 2010 (and a second, different example was auctioned in 2011) so this is still ONLY the second example we have ever auctioned. Note also that due to the poster's condition (see below) it is quite fragile and cannot be rolled and it will be sent in a large flat package that will measure approximately 22" x 28", so please bear this added shipping expense in mind before bidding. Note finally that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 20" x 25 3/4" [51 x 65 cm]. Condition: poor. The borders were all trimmed off (and the top was trimmed to around the edge of the headshots of the stars) and there is staining and some paper loss scattered throughout the poster. The poster is quite fragile. Learn More about condition grades
