Auction History Result 1a302 CORSAIR linen 1sh R37 great romantic art of Chester Morris about to kiss pretty Thelma Todd! Date Sold 4/29/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1937 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Corsair, the 1931 Roland West business romantic crime thriller ("Roland West's thrilling production from the Liberty Magazine serial novel by Walton Green"; "Things began to happen when this football hero - became a pirate in flannels!") starring Chester Morris, Thelma Todd (billed as "Alison Loyd"), Fred Kohler, Ned Sparks, Frank McHugh, Mayo Methot, and William Austin. Note that Thelma Todd was billed under her real name when this movie was made in 1931. It was re-released in 1937 by Artcinema, and it they oddly did not bill Todd at all on any of their re-release posters or lobby cards (perhaps because Todd had tragically died in 1935), but she was prominently pictured on the 1937 re-release items. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had paper loss at the top crossfold (in Morris' eye) and minor fold and border wear. There were pinholes in the corners. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Note that the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
