Original Vintage Theatrical Swedish Linenbacked Movie Poster (measures 27" x 39 1/4") (Learn More) The Prizefighter and the Lady (released in other English-speaking countries as "Every Woman's Man"), the 1933 W.S. Van Dyke romantic love triangle nightclub boxing sports melodrama ("See Primo Carnera, Champion, and Max Baer, Contender in their first ring battle"; "Girls! There's a new passion in your life!"; about an unknown boxer who is discovered by an old-timer while working in a bar, and he becomes a heavyweight contender, and he meets the girlfriend of a gangster, and he marries her, but then she suspects him of being unfaithful, and she goes back to the gangster, and he turns to drink, but can he pull himself together in time for his championship fight?) starring Myrna Loy, Max Baer, Primo Carnera, Jack Dempsey, Walter Huston, and Otto Kruger. Note that, in a very reasonable casting move, MGM hired real-life heavyweight boxers Max Baer and Primo Carnera to play the stars of this movie, so that they would look realistic in their fight scenes! Max Baer apparently did a pretty good job acting, and a year after this movie was released, he had an actual championship fight against Primo Carnera, which he won by knockout!

It now looks great, and most dealers would describe it as "fine (or mint) on linen". We have noted the defects that were restored below (and feel everyone should always do this!). Many collectors would not be aware of the restoration this poster has had unless it was specifically shown to them! Condition: fine. The poster is in wonderful condition!. Most of the linenbacked posters we sell were restored by the finest professionals. An expertly linenbacked poster will often appear "mint", as its defects have been made to "vanish". We are the only seller we are aware of who always tries to describe the condition of the poster prior to being linenbacked, so you are fully aware of what restoration was performed.
