Auction History Result 7a0274 HENRY V insert 1947 full-length portrait of King Laurence Olivier, Shakespeare, ultra rare! Date Sold 12/27/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1947 Vintage Theatrical Folded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) The Chronicle History of King Henry the Fifth with His Battell Fought at Agincourt in France (released in the U.S. in 1947 as "William Shakespeare's Henry V"), the classic 1944 Laurence Olivier English adaptation-of-the-classic-play-by-William-Shakespeare (nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Leslie Banks, Felix Aylmer, Laurence Olivier (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; in the title role as King Henry V of England), Robert Helpmann, Vernon Greeves, Gerald Case, George Robey (as Sir John Falstaff), Freda Jackson, and Renee Asherson. Note that the IMDb says that this movie was released in the U.S. in 1946, but we know that there are lobby cards and stills that are dated both 1944 and 1945, so there was at least an intended release late in 1944 or in early 1945. We wonder if perhaps it first played in very limited release in late 1944 in the U.S. and that there was at least a further limited release in 1947. We know that it received a full scale re-release from United Artists in 1950, but that could have been its first major U.S. release. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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 first release U.S. posters from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a 40x60 and a few one-sheets (all 21+ years ago) from this movie (and NO other posters, only lobby cards and stills) until we received this insert! 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: good to very good. The insert has pairs of staple holes around the edges and one of Olivier's feet. Learn More about condition grades
