Magnificent Obsession, the 1935 John M. Stahl rich-playboy-becomes-surgeon-after-accidentally-blinding-a-woman romantic melodrama ("After you see it you will never be quite the same again!"; "After you see it you'll never be the same again!"; "A notable novel -- NOW a great motion picture!"; "From the notable novel by Lloyd C. Douglas") starring Irene Dunne, Robert Taylor, Charles Butterworth, Betty Furness, Sara Hadden, Ralph Morgan, Henry Armetta, Beryl Mercer, Cora Sue Collins, Lucien Littlefield, and Theodore Von Eltz. Note that this movie was remade in 1954 with Rock Hudson and Jane Wyman in the lead roles!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this poster, and the last one was 10 years ago. One of those posters has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still only one of two examples we have ever auctioned!

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!).
