An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Italian One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27 1/2" x 40" [70 x 102 cm]) (Learn More)

Ann Sothern (born Harriette Arlene Lake) was an actress from the 1920s to the 1980s. She had small uncredited showgirl-like parts from 1927 to 1933, and then she started getting much better roles, and she was a leading lady in the 1930s, and stayed a top star through the 1950s. Some of her movies include: A Letter to Three Wives, Footlight Parade, The Best Man, The Whales Of August (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), and scores of others, and she is also well remembered from the "Private Secretary" and "The Ann Sothern Show" TV series in the 1950s. She passed away in 2001 at the age of 92.
Artist: Sergio Gargiulo
Important Added Info: Note that it is difficult to accurately date Italian posters, and some unmarked re-release posters can be extremely difficult to distinguish from first releases, so please bear that in mind before you place a bid. We used our best information to date this poster, but we can't always guarantee that the Italian posters we sell are not from an unmarked re-release, but this will only prove to be true in a very tiny number of cases. Also note that this Italian one-sheet measures 27 1/2" x 40" [70 x 102 cm].

UPDATED 03/30/2011: Note that a knowledgeable collector pointed out that the artist of this Italian 1sh is Sergio Gargiulo.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and a few creases and small tears on the foldlines. There were some pinholes, creases, tears, and smudges around the edges of the poster and a few smudges, scuffs, and stains scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
