Auction History Result 8x200 FLESH & FANTASY linen Belgian '46 art of Edward G. Robinson, Barbara Stanwyck & Charles Boyer! Date Sold 12/8/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1946 (from the first release of this movie in Belgium) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Belgian Movie Poster (measures 14 1/2" x 19 1/2") (Learn More) Flesh and Fantasy, the 1943 Julien Duvivier compilation occult fantasy thriller ("The motion picture above all!"; "Based on stories by Oscar Wilde, Laslo Vadnay and Ellis St. Joseph") starring Charles Boyer, Barbara Stanwyck, Edward G. Robinson, Betty Field, Robert Cummings (Bob Cummings), Robert Benchley, Anna Lee, Thomas Mitchell, Charles Winninger, Edgar Barrier, C. Aubrey Smith, and Dame May Whitty. Note that this was a type of compilation movie that became popular in the 1940s, where the movie would adapt multiple stories by either a single author or multiple authors, and they would either have no connection or be loosely connected. The studio that made the movie would put a bunch of their contract stars into the movie so that they would have "an all star cast". 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 this poster was printed on the back of an old map! During World War II in Belgium, there was a massive paper shortage, and so they used whatever paper they could find to print the movie posters, and in many cases they used old maps or old posters, and printed the movie posters on the reverse. They often also made the posters smaller, so they could get more posters printed. This practice continued for a couple of years after World War II. Since these posters are original, and since all such posters are printed on the back of maps or other posters, this is not considered a defect by almost all collectors. Condition: very good. The poster was folded once in each direction and there was minor wear on the foldlines and in the borders. There is very slight bleed through from the map on the back, but it is not very distracting (it is most seen in Boyer's ear, neck, and collar). Other than being printed on the back of a map, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, but you can see the slight bleed through described above.
