Date Sold 9/6/2012 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage (re-titled "New-York Miami") Theatrical Folded Belgian Movie Poster (measures 24" x 33 1/2" [61 x 85 cm]) (Learn More) It Happened One Night, the classic 1934 Frank Capra (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) runaway-heiress-with-undercover-reporter-who-are-complete-opposites-but-fall-in-love-anyway romantic screwball comedy ("Together for the first time!"; "From the Cosmopolitan Magazine story by Samuel Hopkins Adams"; "Screenplay by Robert Riskin"; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Clark Gable (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Claudette Colbert (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Walter Connolly, Roscoe Karns, Alan Hale Sr., Ward Bond, and Jameson Thomas. Note that this is a wonderful movie that contains many memorable scenes (perhaps most notably when Gable "instructs" Colbert on how to hitchhike), but it is also memorable for the scene where Gable reveals that he was not wearing an undershirt, which caused undershirt sales to plunge nationwide, and they never recovered! 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 this is a rare "pre-War" Belgian poster. Prior to World War II, Belgian posters were much larger than the ones from after the war, and they are extremely rare (because during WWII, there was a massive paper shortage in Belgium, and they took virtually every poster and map, and printed new posters on the backs of them!). Also note that this poster was machine folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster has overprinting at the bottom left which is in German, and it indicates that the poster was used at a double-bill showing of this movie and "Cradle Song", a 1933 movie starring Dorothea Wieck. Depending on how you look at it, this is either a detraction or an interesting addition. There are also several creases throughout the poster from the poster being oddly folded at one time. There is some tattering and tiny paper loss along the foldlines (mostly at upper left and right) and around the edges of the poster. There is much pencil writing on the back of the poster at top but it does not appear to have any effect on the front. Fortunately, the poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition and the foldlines will surely be greatly minimized during the linenbacking process after which the poster will look great with very little paint restoration needed!
