A 1947 re-Release Theatrical Linenbacked Argentinean Movie Poster (measures approximately 29" x 43") (Learn More) La Tragedie Imperiale (released in English-speaking countries as "Rasputin"), the 1938 (released in the U.S. in 1939) Marcel L'Herbier French Russia biographical melodrama (unlike other versions of this historical biography, in this version, Rasputin sincerely believes he can help the Czar's family, and he is more of a tragic figure than an evil one) starring Harry Baur (in the title role as Rasputin), Marcelle Chantal (as Czarina Alexandra), Pierre Richard-Willm, Jean Worms (as Czar Nicholas), and Jany Holt Artist: Osvaldo Venturi Important Added Info: Note that an advanced collector of Argentinean posters tells us that this poster (and other Argentinean posters from Guaranteed Pictures) are not from 1943 (as we and many other sellers have mistakenly put), but are actually from the mid-to-late 1940s, and that they are re-releases. We got the date of 1943 from the poster but that is actually part of the company's street address! Apparently, Guaranteed Pictures made a deal to re-release several classic movies in the mid 1940s, and they produced posters for those re-releases with great art by the wonderful Argentinean poster artist, Osvaldo Venturi. Please do not bid on this poster thinking that it is a first release from 1943 as it is a 1947 re-release. Condition: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and creases and tiny tears in parts of the top horizontal foldline, and in the top quarter of the vertical foldline, with just a few creases and tears in the other folds. All of the borders were folded back at one time. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
