An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 26 1/4" x 40" [67 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Derelict, the 1930 Rowland V. Lee Cuba romantic love triangle adventure melodrama (a wacky story of two experienced sailors who are best friends on a ship that goes between North America and Latin America, but they have a falling out when they both fall in love with the same beautiful Cuban woman, and they undergo many adventures, but ultimately their friendship is restored and one of the men is happily married to the woman) starring George Bancroft, Jessie Royce Landis, William 'Stage' Boyd, Donald Stuart, and James Durkin 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 ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a window card, a lobby card, and some stills from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this one-sheet! Note that this poster has no blank borders and measures 26 1/4" x 40", but it has NOT been trimmed. This is one of two unusual experiments Paramount did with one-sheets from part of 1928 through part of 1931. They printed their regular one-sheets with a "full bleed", meaning the solid borders ran all the way to the edge of the poster, and the small writing at the bottom is within the color area, because there is no white area beneath it. They also made some special one-sheets, which are basically like giant half-sheets (printed on the same thick material), but they measure exactly 27" x 41" and also have no blank borders. Both of these printing methods were abandoned after a short time (probably because printers at the time had difficulty printing with a full bleed). It would not be until around 1990 that printers would again print movie posters with a full bleed! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and minor wear on the horizontal folds. It had some tiny tears and tiny pinholes scattered along parts of the vertical fold, with some tiny bits of surface paper loss in the edges of the top and bottom border. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
