An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Born Yesterday, the classic 1951 George Cukor (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) Washington D.C. romantic love triangle political corruption comedy ("It's here At Last!"; "Broadway's Biggest Hit... ...now a perfectly swell motion picture!"; "From the Celebrated Stage Play" by Garson Kanin; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a rich but corrupt junk dealer who goes to Washington to win influence through bribes, and he brings his uneducated girlfriend along and he hires a tutor to teach her proper etiquette, and they fall in love and turn the tables on the corrupt man) starring Broderick Crawford, Judy Holliday (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), William Holden, Howard St. John, and Frank Otto. Note that Judy Holliday had created the role of Billie Dawn in the original Broadway version of this play. Harry Cohn paid $1,000,000 for the rights to the play, and he did not want Holliday to play the part, because he thought she was not well enough known and too "ethnic". All of Columbia's top actresses, including Rita Hayworth, were considered for the role before they finally went back to Holliday, which is ironic, since she won the Oscar for Best Actress! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. The poster had small paper loss at the crossfolds and minor wear on the foldlines. The entire poster has darkened somewhat. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see the paper loss at the crossfolds. At some point after linenbacking, the poster was roughly handled and the left and right edges of the linen were heavily creased, but it does not come close to the actual poster.
