Auction History Result 2w302 WIFE VERSUS SECRETARY linen 3sh '36 art of Clark Gable between Jean Harlow & Myrna Loy! Date Sold 6/16/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81") (Learn More) Wife Vs. Secretary, the 1936 Clarence Brown romantic love misunderstanding comedy (about a happily married couple; the husband has a beautiful secretary, and the wife misunderstands something that happens and she thinks that her husband might be having an affair) starring Clark Gable, Jean Harlow (in the title role as the secretary, Helen Wilson), Myrna Loy (in the title role as the wife, Linda Stanhope), May Robson, George Barbier, James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart; in his fourth movie role!), Hobart Cavanaugh, and John Qualen. Note that Jean Harlow plays Clark Gable's secretary, and in the movie, he is madly in love with wife Myrna Loy, and it is only a misunderstanding that causes Loy to think there is something between Gable and Harlow, and the entire movie is very innocent. Note too that Harlow's boyfriend is played by an extremely young Jimmy Stewart! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair. THE BOTTOM 1/3 OF THE POSTER WAS MISSING! Because it is solely text, it was relatively easy for a restorer to re-create the missing area. The top 2/3 of the poster had tears and areas of paper loss on several foldlines, including in the foldline running down the right side of Gable's head, but not much in the two female stars. The bottom portion of the poster was well re-created, and I can imagine many people would not realize that it was a re-creation unless it was specifically told to them. Obviously, one would prefer to have a complete example of this three-sheet, but I don't know that even one example of it exists (which is also true of many top 1930s titles). Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept that the bottom third is re-created, and that the top 2/3 has had restoration as seen in our image. Learn More about condition grades
