A 1948 Re-Release Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) A Night at the Opera, the classic 1935 Sam Wood screwball musical opera romantic comedy starring the Marx Brothers (Groucho Marx as Otis B. Driftwood, Chico Marx as Fiorello, and Harpo Marx as Tomasso), Kitty Carlisle (as Rosa Castaldi), Allan Jones (as Ricardo Baroni), Walter Woolf King (billed as "Walter King"; as Rodolfo Lassparri), Sig Ruman (as Herbert Gottlieb), and Margaret Dumont (as Mrs. Claypool). Note that MGM added a romantic plot to the Marx Bros. typical screwball comedy, and it really adds to the movie, as Carlisle and Jones have real chemistry together, and their songs are excellent. Of course, this is also the movie that has the Marx Bros.' most famous comedy scene, the "stateroom" scene, plus the great scene of Groucho and Chico attempting to sign a contract! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Al Hirschfeld Important Added Info: Note that the poster says "A METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER MASTERPIECE REPRINT" in the bottom left. This was a terminology used by MGM at this time for some re-releases, and it has caused some collectors to be confused! This poster is the original poster from the 1948 re-release of this movie, and is NOT a "reprint"! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had small paper loss at the crossfolds and many small tears and small areas of paper loss scattered along all the folds, and also two 7" tears in the top right and an extra horizontal fold 3" below the regular bottom horizontal fold. The poster also had pinholes, tears, and areas of paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. Given the poster's significant defects, it was pretty well backed, and displays fairly well, but bear in mind its defects and its restoration before placing a bid on it.
