An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 17" [36 x 43 cm]) (Learn More) Rudyard Kipling's Captains Courageous (released in Germany as "Manuel"), the classic 1937 Victor Fleming rough-Portuguese-sailor-befriends-spoiled-rich-kid-and-changes-his-life-forever seafaring adventure thriller ("The Screen's Greatest Adventure"; "As great as 'Mutiny on the Bounty'"; "Just as it stormed from the pen of Kipling comes the successor to 'Mutiny on the Bounty'"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; based on the novel by Rudyard Kipling) starring Freddie Bartholomew, Spencer Tracy (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; as Manuel), Lionel Barrymore, Melvyn Douglas, Charley Grapewin, John Carradine, Billy Gilbert, and Mickey Rooney 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 it looks like the left, right, and bottom borders might have been trimmed, but actually, they were printed with a "full bleed", something MGM was doing at the time, which means there were no white borders when the card was printed (although the top blank area has been neatly trimmed off). Note that the window card was folded across the center at one time. Because the entire poster has condition issues, we don't want to re-fold the window card prior to mailing, because we believe that re-folding the window card would potentially lessen its condition even more. If you specifically request it, we will re-fold this window card, but you will not be able to return it. Condition: fair. The blank top area was mostly trimmed, and black paint was put in the remaining blank top area just above the tagline. The card was folded across the original center. There is paper loss at the right end of the title and small paper loss in the bottom left corner. There was a separated piece in the bottom right corner, and it was re-attached with tape from the back. There are some smudges scattered in the card, more so in the right of Tracy's face (see our image). Still, a restorer could certainly rescue this card. But please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored. Learn More about condition grades
