An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Style B Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 21 1/2" x 27 1/4" [55 x 69 cm]) (Learn More) The Eagle and the Hawk, the 1933 Stuart Walker World War I (WWI) military romantic love triangle Royal Air Force Squadron airplane aviation fighter pilot thriller ("They dedicated their lives... to Death!"; "Live with Men who don't live long!"; "By the author or 'Wings'"; a wild story of American pilots in the RAF in World War I; an ace pilot has great animosity for an "observer", the person who flies with the pilot and helps spot the enemy, but they must fly missions together; the pilot finally succumbs to the endless stress and commits suicide, and the observer wants him to remain a hero, so he takes his body up in a plane and makes it look like he was killed in action) starring Fredric March, Cary Grant, Carole Lombard (third billed in this war movie, in a small role, playing "The Beautiful Lady"!), Jack Oakie, and Guy Standing. Note that this was still early enough in Cary Grant's career that he had the unsympathetic role of the observer, while Fredric March had the glamorous role of the ace war pilot!

Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 21 1/2" x 27 1/4" [55 x 69 cm]. Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had been trimmed slightly on the blank borders and it was folded once in each direction, and it had many creases, scuffs, and some tiny bits of paper loss along both folds, and it had many pinholes, smudges, and stains scattered throughout, with some pinholes and tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to paperbacking. The person who paperbacked the poster did a pretty nice job considering the poster's many defects, but you can still clearly see signs of the defects and the restoration (and they did not replace the slight bit of missing blank borders), so bear that in mind and look at our super-sized image before placing a bid on this extremely rare poster.
