Auction History Result 5a0179 TOVARICH 1/2sh 1937 great c/u of Russian royalty Claudette Colbert & Charles Boyer, rare! Date Sold 7/12/2020 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Tovarich, the 1937 Anatole Litvak France/Russia royalty romantic comedy ("--tonight's our night!"; "Adapted from the play by Jacques Deval"; "English version by Robert E. Sherwood"; about a Russian couple who flee to France with a vast fortune during the Russian Revolution; but they choose to work as personal servants, because the money is to be used to restore the Russian monarchy!) starring Claudette Colbert, Charles Boyer, Basil Rathbone, Anita Louise, Melville Cooper, Isabel Jeans, Morris Carnovsky, and Victor Kilian. Note that this was a famous French play that was turned into a French movie in 1935, and then the rights to it were bought by Warner Bros. in 1937. This was a movie where Claudette Colbert fought continuously with the director over her solely being filmed from one profile, and she wanted the cinematographer fired, but the director refused, and Colbert added to her reputation for being difficult to work with and for being incredibly sensitive to only being filmed from one side!

Important Added Info: Note that first release movie posters from this movie are incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned two one-sheets from this movie, and NO other posters until we received this half-sheet! Also note that this poster is very old, and it would not make sense to attempt to roll it, as the paper is fragile and rolling it would surely damage it. Therefore we must be sent in a very large flat package. Please bear that extra shipping cost in mind BEFORE placing a bid on this poster! Condition: good. The poster was never folded. It has darkened, typical of Warner Bros. linen posters of this period. It has pinholes, tears, and some paper loss around the edges, and someone put tape on the back of those areas and filled in some of the missing paper by taping paper from the back. There is a 4" x 6" area of staining on the back of the top center, but it does not affect the front. Learn More about condition grades
