Date Sold 1/31/2012Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1940s Vintage (from the first release in Belgium) Theatrical Folded Belgian Movie Poster (measures 14 1/2" x 21 1/2" [37 x 55 cm]) (Learn More) Corsair, the 1931 Roland West business romantic crime thriller ("Roland West's thrilling production from the Liberty Magazine serial novel by Walton Green"; "Things began to happen when this football hero - became a pirate in flannels!") starring Chester Morris, Thelma Todd (billed as "Alison Loyd"), Fred Kohler, Ned Sparks, Frank McHugh, Mayo Methot, and William Austin. Note that Thelma Todd was billed under her real name when this movie was made in 1931. It was re-released in 1937 by Artcinema, and it they oddly did not bill Todd at all on any of their re-release posters or lobby cards (perhaps because Todd had tragically died in 1935), but she was prominently pictured on the 1937 re-release items. 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 was printed on the back of an old map! During World War II in Belgium, there was a massive paper shortage, and so they used whatever paper they could find to print the movie posters, and in many cases they used old maps or old posters, and printed the movie posters on the reverse. They often also made the posters smaller, so they could get more posters printed. This practice continued for a couple of years after World War II. Since these posters are original, and since all such posters are printed on the back of maps or other posters, this is not considered a defect by almost all collectors. Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. There are a few pairs of staple holes around the edges and there are some minor creases scattered throughout the poster. The poster is otherwise in nice condition and it displays well.
