Auction History Result 7c0763 IT'S A KING French 2p 1934 art of English Sydney Howard as King Albert, ultra rare! Date Sold 1/7/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1934 (from the first release of this movie in France) Vintage Theatrical Folded French Two-Panel "Double Grande" Movie Poster (2p; measures 63" x 89 1/2" [160 x 227 cm]; printed in 2 pieces) (Learn More) It's a King, the 1933 Jack Raymond English mistaken identity royalty romantic comedy (about an insurance agent on vacation who not only discovers that he is the exact duplicate of the king of that country, but that his name is the exact reverse of the king's, Albert King, and he goes on to successfully impersonate the king and save his life, while having a romance with a princess) starring Sydney Howard (in a dual role as Albert King and King Albert), Joan Maude, Cecil Humphreys, George De Warfaz, Arthur Goullet, and Franklyn Bellamy. Note that it was a pretty common plot device in older movies to not only have people meet their exact double, but also to then go on to impersonate them. I wonder if this happens much in real life! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this French poster! This is an extremely rare pre-World War II French poster! Virtually no French posters survive from before, during, or right after World War II. Apparently there were many paper shortages in France during World War II, resulting in the destruction of almost all pre-World War II posters!Also note that this French two-panel was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
