An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Three-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 41" x 81") (Learn More) The Challenge, the 1938 Milton Rosmer & Luis Trenker English Swiss Alps mountain climbing romantic adventure melodrama (a dramatization of the first climbing of the Matterhorn in 1865), starring Robert Douglas, Frank Birch, Geoffrey Wardwell, Luis Trenker, and Joan Gardner. Note that star/director Luis Trenker is a fascinating forgotten man in the history of film! He started out helping Arnold Fanck on his mountain movies. He became a filmmaker in the 1930s, making movies about how country life was better than city life, and the Nazis wanted him to make movies for them. He moved to Rome and made two documentaries there. After the war, he was accused of being a Fascist, but the charges were eventually dropped and he started making movies again, but before long, he only made documentaries and writing about mountains, his first love. He died at the age of 97 in 1990! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: This three-sheet was printed in 2 sections. Condition: very good. There are creases and tiny tears on a few foldlines and separation and tiny paper loss in a few crossfolds (more so on the part of the poster that was on the outside when it was fully folded). There are some creases, smudges, and tiny tears in the borders, but overall, the poster is in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
