Zanuck Production"; about a woman whose fiance dies before they can get married, and she is pregnant, so she ends up an unwed mother who gives her baby, played by Scotty Beckett, up for adoption; she is helped by a doctor who has fallen in love with her, but she happens to run into the family that adopted her son, now played by Dickie Moore, and after the wife dies, she hopes to marry the father, even though she doesn't love him, just so that she could become a real mother to her son, and meanwhile, the kindly doctor is pining away for her) starring Ann Harding, Clive Brook, Otto Kruger, Tullio Carminati, Dickie Moore, and Scotty Beckett. Note that this movie was remade just five years later as "Always Goodbye", starring Barbara Stanwyck and Herbert Marshall. Also note that this movie was one of the earliest movies where Darryl F. Zanuck received "on screen" and "on poster" credit for being the producer of the movie. 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 first release 1933 movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned even a single movie paper item from this movie (other than a single still) until we received this one-sheet! Surely this is because it is a 20th Century Picture that was released through United Artists. Shortly after this, 20th Century merged with Fox and became 20th Century-Fox, and that certainly has to do with the extreme rarity of movie paper on this title. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and minor wear on the folds. It had a pinhole in each corner and tiny paper loss near the bottom of the right border. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but at some point after it was backed, it acquired three tiny areas of surface paper loss in the left of the top horizontal fold, in the top of Brooks' shoulder and in the background above (any restorer could easily touch up that area without re-backing the poster).
