Auction History Result #024 THE SECRET SHARER linen 1sh '52 Mason Date Sold 8/21/2001Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) The Secret Sharer, the 1952 John Brahm seafaring adventure thriller ("From the salty pen of the world's greatest sea-story author... The storm-swept drama of a stowaway charged with murder... and the Captain who could free or condemn him!"; "Surging suspense sails the storm-tossed seas! Thunderous thrills and white-lipped suspense in a raging drama of sailing-ship days!"; "Joseph Conrad's stirring drama of the sea!"; "Story by Joseph Conrad") starring James Mason, Gene Lockhart, and Michael Pate. Note that this movie was released as a "new kind of double-bill" by RKO in 1952 under the title of "Face to Face", which included this movie and the movie "The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky". Apparently, they also made the decision to create independent releases for both short movies (approximately 45 minutes long each), so they prepared one-sheets for this part of the double bill (and also for the other part). The one-sheet offered here is for the solo release of this movie, and movie paper from this release is far more rare than that from the double bill. The films were a vanity project for producer Huntington Hartford (the A&P grocery chain heir) who cast his wife (Marjorie Steele) in the Bride film, and hired famous author James Agee to help with the script (and who also played a role in the Bride movie).

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 had light restoration on the folds.
