A 1933 Re-Release (re-titled "The Big House For Girls" for this re-release) Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

The Silver Lining, the 1932 Alan Crosland women's prison crime melodrama (a wacky story of a rich young woman who owns tenement buildings, and through implausible circumstances, she ends up sentenced to jail, and she gets out and lives in her own tenement for a while, and realizes how awful it is, and she starts restoring it, and while she is there, she meets her true love) starring Maureen O'Sullivan (very young and sexy in this role!), Betty Compson, John Warburton, Montagu Love, and Mary Doran. Note that Maureen O'Sullivan made this movie right after "Tarzan the Ape Man", and she was top billed (perhaps off of the Tarzan connection). A year later, in 1933, the producers of this movie re-released it the following year, with a new title, and giving O'Sullivan more prominent star billing than she had received the year before!

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this re-release one-sheet, and that was 13 years ago, and it sold for $608 and was only in "good" condition!

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the top and bottom crossfolds, with very minor fold wear. It had pinholes in the corners, with small paper loss in the top right blank corner, caused by rough removal of the pins. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
