Auction History Result 5r0062 GOOD FAIRY 1/2sh 1935 William Wyler, Preston Sturges, Sullavan, Morgan, Marshall, ultra rare! Date Sold 9/3/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) The Good Fairy, the classic 1935 William Wyler romantic love triangle comedy ("Screenplay by Preston Sturges"; based on a French play by Ferenc Molnar, but that play was too racy for 1935 U.S. audiences, and Preston Sturges did a brilliant job of adapting it, changing Sullavan's character from a libertine to an adorable waif who grew up sheltered in an orphanage, and after she meets a rich man who will do anything to help her, she decides to pretend to have a husband, and she picks out a man at random, so she can act as a "good fairy" to him!) starring Margaret Sullavan, Herbert Marshall, Frank Morgan, Reginald Owen, Alan Hale Sr., Eric Blore, June Clayworth, and Beulah Bondi 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 we have never before auctioned an example of this half-sheet! Not only that, but the only other poster we auctioned was an insert (we auctioned the same poster two different times), and NO other first release posters at all. Also note that this poster is very old, and it would not make sense to attempt to roll it, as the paper is fragile and rolling it would surely damage it. Therefore we must be sent in a very large flat package. Please bear that extra shipping cost in mind BEFORE placing a bid on this poster! Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has a 3" tear in the left border with tiny paper loss in that tear, but it is only in the white background. There is small paper loss in the bottom left blank corner and in the right of the bottom blank border. There are some smudges and scuffs around the edges, with a repaired 2" tear in the right of the top border (extending into the white background) and stains in the top left corner, solely in the blank border. There are tiny pinholes in the corners. I go into great detail on the above defects because of the rarity and desirability of this poster. Its image area is in generally nice condition, and its defects are mostly in the borders and background areas. After a relatively simple restoration by a top professional, the poster will look incredible on its new owner's wall and require very little paint restoration within the image.
