An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Dutch Movie Poster (measures 25 1/2" x 39 1/4" [65 x 100 cm]) (Learn More) Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, the classic 1936 Frank Capra (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) romantic inheritance comedy ("A new laugh-and-love team takes America by storm!"; "Rocking America with laughter!"; "Story by Clarence Budington Kelland"; "Screen play by Robert Riskin"; "Another great Frank Capra Production"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a small town "rube" from Mandrake Falls, Vermont, who inherits millions of dollars, and he goes to New York City to claim it, and everyone tries to swindle him out of the money, and a female reporter poses as his girlfriend to write stories about him, and he tries to give all the money away in loans to poor farmers who were hurt by the Great Depression, and he is given a sanity hearing, and he refuses to speak because of his girlfriend's deception, but it all works out quite nicely in the end!) starring Gary Cooper (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; in the title role as Longfellow Deeds), Jean Arthur (as Babe Bennett), George Bancroft, Lionel Stander, Douglass Dumbrille, H.B. Warner, Margaret McWade, Margaret Seddon, Emma Dunn, Walter Catlett, and Margarete Matzenauer. This movie was re-made in 2002 (as "Mr. Deeds") by Adam Sandler, with himself in the starring role. Also note that the plot of this movie is very similar to Times Square Lady, which came out the previous year, but with the sex of the heroes reversed (and the source stories for the two were written by different people). Interestingly, this movie was originally titled "Opera Hat", and it seems that it centered on the part of the story where Cooper becomes the head of the New York Opera House, and while that subplot was retained, the plot was greatly expanded! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Frans Mettes Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster! We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning. 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: very good. The poster has tiny separation at the crossfolds and some tiny tears in the left half of the horizontal fold, to the left of Cooper's head and in the top 6" of the vertical fold. There are pinholes in the corners and some small tears in the borders. There was once a paper snipe attached to part of the bottom border and it was removed, causing surface paper loss. There is a foreign stamp in the bottom left corner. Other than these basically minor defects, the poster has survived in pretty nice condition. It could be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or certainly, linenbacking can repair the minor defects, and it will display wonderfully! Learn More about condition grades
