An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Belgian Movie Poster (measures 24 1/4" x 31" [62 x 79 cm]) (Learn More)

Now and Forever, the 1934 Henry Hathaway romantic crime family relationship melodrama ("Little Miss Marker meets Prince Charming!"; "He had an unbroken record of broken hearts clear 'round the world! Be he broke his own heart... when he broke his word of 'honor bright' to a little girl... his tiny daughter he had never seen... until they met in a dream garden!"; an unusual movie for Gary Cooper, because he plays a loser who has a daughter he's never seen, and wants to sell her to the highest bidder and live with beautiful girlfriend Carole Lombard, but when he meets the girl, played by adorable Shirley Temple, he wants to keep her, but he gets involved in a robbery, and he reluctantly gives up the girl to a wealthy woman, who is the woman who owned the jewels they robbed, so that she can have a good life) starring Gary Cooper, Carole Lombard, Shirley Temple, Guy Standing, and Charlotte Granville. Note that Gary Cooper and Carole Lombard were two of the absolute most charismatic male and female stars at the time this movie was made, and yet the movie was "stolen" by their 6 year old co-star, Shirley Temple!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this Belgian poster! Also 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!).

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was folded in half an extra time, resulting in extra horizontal and vertical folds. It had tiny paper loss at one crossfold and 2" of horizontal separation on the fold in Lombard's forehead. It had some smudges and scuffs on parts of the other folds, with some tears in the borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
