Auction History Result 2b356 TOO MANY HUSBANDS Belgian '40s Jean Arthur between Fred MacMurray & Melvyn Douglas! Date Sold 3/23/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Circa 1940s (from the first release of this movie in Belgium) Vintage Theatrical Folded Belgian Movie Poster (measures 11 1/4" x 15 3/4") (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! 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 poster was printed on the back of an old map! During World War II in Belgium, there was a massive paper shortage, and so they used whatever paper they could find to print the movie posters, and in many cases they used old maps or old posters, and printed the movie posters on the reverse. They often also made the posters smaller, so they could get more posters printed. This practice continued for a couple of years after World War II. Since these posters are original, and since all such posters are printed on the back of maps or other posters, this is not considered a defect by almost all collectors. 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. There are light brown dot stains, creases, and scuffs scattered throughout the poster. Learn More about condition grades
