An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Style B One-Sheet Movie Poster (27" x 41") (Learn More) Wesley Ruggles' Too Many Husbands, the 1940 Wesley Ruggles romantic love triangle marital comedy ("This husband returned from the grave... But proved he was no ghost!"; "This husband returned from the office... To find he was no husband!"; "Just married... but to whom?"; "Which one?"; "Just Married"; "How happy she could be with either.... If the other would just go away!"; "A great director brings to the screen Somerset Maugham's hilariously merry play bout the gayest of marital mixups!"; "Based on the play by W. Somerset Maugham") starring Jean Arthur, Fred MacMurray, Melvyn Douglas, Harry Davenport, and Dorothy Peterson. This was one of many, many variations on the "Enoch Arden" theme, where a woman's husband is presumed dead, and she re-marries, and then the first husband returns from the dead, and naturally, she has difficulty knowing which husband to choose. Apparently, this version was very risque and daring, even though it was made long after the Production Code had supposedly ended that kind of behavior in movies!

This poster was well restored, but you can see signs of the restoration from inches away (since most people look at posters framed on a wall from at least a few feet away, we don't feel this is a defect, but we feel it should be noted). See below for this poster's pre-restoration condition (we are the only major auction company we know of that shares this information with our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). good to very good. The poster had small paper loss at the crossfolds. Creases, tiny tears, and tiny paper loss along the foldlines and pinholes and tiny tears in the borders. Learn More about condition grades
