An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) My Lips Betray, the 1933 John G. Blystone romantic love triangle king-and-commoner musical ("From the play 'Der Komet' by Attila Orbok"; set in a mythical European country, about a beautiful girl who sings in a beer garden, and the king of the country is being forced to marry the queen of another country to save his country from financial ruin, but then he meets the girl, and what you expect will happen, does!) starring Lillian Harvey, John Boles, El Brendel, Maude Eburne, Irene Browne, and Henry Stephenson 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 this one-sheet is rarely offered for sale. We have only auctioned one example of it in all our years of auctioning, and that was 23 years ago! Note that this one-sheet is one of the 28 folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction that were not consigned to us by Dominique Besson. It was consigned to us by another collector, but that in no way diminishes this poster, and it fits well with the Besson collection. What is the Dominique Besson collection? He started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that while Mr. Besson collected a few 1930s posters, he included them in other categories, so this one-sheet is being auctioned in a category that we have labeled "1930s" (there are only five of those). Condition: good to very good. The poster has faint water staining near the center of the image that is in the right of Harvey's neck, and slightly in her blouse (see our image). It has small separation at each crossfold, with very tiny paper loss at the top two crossfolds. It has some creases and a few tiny tears scattered in the vertical fold, with minor wear on the horizontal folds. It has some pinholes, smudges, and creases around the edges. This is the sort of poster that responds really well to professional restoration. It is likely that much or all of the water staining can be removed through chemical means, and after restoration of the other defects described above, the poster will look fantastic!
