Auction History Result 8e373 GREAT GATSBY 1sh '49 art of Alan Ladd in trench coat surrounded by many sexy women! Date Sold 5/27/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Great Gatsby, the 1949 Elliott Nugent romantic melodrama ("A Great Cast... A Great Novel... A Great Motion Picture"; "Ladd as man of violence and mystery vs. women of wealth and Beauty!"; "From the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald and the play by Owen Davis") starring Alan Ladd (in the title role as Jay Gatsby), Betty Field (as Daisy Buchanan), Macdonald Carey (as Nick Carraway), Ruth Hussey (as Jordan Baker), Barry Sullivan (as Tom Buchanan), Howard Da Silva, Shelley Winters, and Ed Begley. Note that F. Scott Fitzgerald's legendary novel was first adapted as a movie in 1926 (the novel was published in 1925). This 1949 remake was not very faithful to the novel, and was not very successful at the box office, and neither was the 1974 remake starring Robert Redford (to be fair, it would be very difficult for a movie to be faithful to the book and succeed at the box office). 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 for this one-sheet, Paramount "cheated" and used an image of Alan Ladd surrounded by sexy women, to try to fool theater goers into thinking this was another of his film noir roles! Condition: good to very good. There are some small tears and areas of minor separation along the foldlines (some repaired with tape from the back) and there are some tack holes in the corners of the poster. There is a tiny stain in Ladd's chin at upper right. There are minor creases throughout the poster (more so along the foldlines and edges). There are tiny sticky areas scattered throughout the front and back of the poster and one must be careful when unfolding it, but the poster is otherwise in generally nice condition.
