Auction History Result k781 POLITICS rotogravure one-sheet movie poster '31 Marie Dressler Date Sold 7/5/2005Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 28" x 42") (Learn More) Politics, the 1931 Charles Reisner women-and-politics political corruption comedy (about a middle-aged widow who is fed up by the political corruption in their small town, and she decides to do something about it by running for office) starring Marie Dressler, Polly Moran, Roscoe Ates, Karen Morley, and William Bakewell. Note that this was one of a dozen movies where Dressler and Moran co-starred. They were one of the most unlikely "teams" in Hollywood history (both older women who were not especially attractive), but the public loved their movies! 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 there is a large unfortunate area of paper loss on Dressler's face. There is also much writing in the top 1/4 of the poster. The poster is in much lesser condition! Also note that in the late 1910s through the early 1930s, MGM (and sometimes Paramount and a couple of other studios) would often make a regular one-sheet for a movie and, instead of a second style regular one-sheet, would instead make a special "rotogravure" one-sheet. Named after the rotogravure picture sections at the time popular in Sunday newspapers, these one-sheets would be printed in a single color, often sepia, but sometimes other colors, and they would usually incorporate pictorial images from the movie combined in a montage fashion. Very few rotogravure one-sheet have survived, since they were printed on the same paper stock used in newspapers of the time, and the paper is very fragile and often darkens. Also note that this one-sheet measures 28" x 42". Please do not bid on this poster thinking it is 27" x 41". Condition: good. Learn More about condition grades
