Auction History Result 3b1142 CAPTAIN HATES THE SEA insert 1934 Lewis Milestone, McLaglen, Gilbert, top cast, ultra rare! Date Sold 10/25/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) The Captain Hates the Sea, the 1934 Lewis Milestone all-star high seas sailing romantic adventure screwball comedy ("A tidal wave of laughs!"; "All aboard the looney liner!"; "Story and Screen Play by Wallace Smith"; this was Columbia Pictures' answer to MGM's Grand Hotel, except set on a ship, and they put most of their top stars in the movie, but of course, they were not on the level of MGM's stars!) starring Victor McLaglen, John Gilbert (in his final role and the only time he didn't work with MGM), Alison Skipworth, Wynne Gibson, Helen Vinson, Walter Connolly (in the title role as Captain Helquist), Fred Keating, Leon Errol, Walter Catlett, Tala Birell, and the Three Stooges (Moe Howard, Curly Howard, and Larry Fine). Note that this John Gilbert sound movie, like all his sound movies, completely dispels the myth that he had a high-pitched speaking voice, which ended his career! Actually, he had a fine speaking voice, and there is much speculation as to what it was that actually ended his career, and that can be found in various places on the Internet, but it was definitely not his voice! Also note that The Three Stooges play musicians, and that only Larry has any lines, which he delivers with a Yiddish accent! 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 never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning, and we have only auctioned a window card, two lobby cards, and some smaller items like stills, but NO other posters for the movie whatsoever!
