An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Bulgarian Movie Poster (measures 28" x 39" [71 x 99 cm]) (Learn More)

I Take This Woman, the 1940 W.S. Van Dyke (billed as "W.S. Van Dyke II") romantic marriage melodrama ("Man of the hour! Woman of flame!"; "Original story by Charles MacArthur"; about a doctor who helps poor people, who marries a beautiful woman who wants him to be rich, so he abandons the poor and starts treating rich people) starring Spencer Tracy, Hedy Lamarr, Verree Teasdale, Kent Taylor, Laraine Day, Marjorie Main, Willie Best, Louis Calhern, and Dalies Frantz. Note that this was a very troubled production. Josef von Sternberg was the original director and quit, and was replaced by Frank Borzage, but then the entire movie was shelved for 10 months. At that point, W.S. Van Dyke was hired, and he pretty much re-shot the entire movie, even though a lot of it had already been shot, and he also re-cast several of the lead roles (for example, Jack Carson is credited, but he only has one line that remained in the movie, and that one was dubbed, because he was not available to re-take it when the movie was being edited)!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this poster, and that was 8 years ago. The buyer of that poster has now reconsigned it to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned! Also note that the poster has an artist's signature on it, but we cannot make it out in the slightest. If anyone knows the name of this artist, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and small tears and tiny paper loss in the top quarter of the vertical fold, with minor wear on the other folds. It had pinholes around the edges, with triangular paper loss in the top blank corners. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
