George Bernard Shaw's Major Barbara, the 1941 Gabriel Pascal English Salvation Army romantic family relationship comedy ("Bernard Shaw's crowning achievement!"; presented by "The Producer of Pygmalion") starring Wendy Hiller ("She is Major Barbara"; in the title role as Major Barbara Undershaft), Rex Harrison, Robert Morley, Robert Newton (billed as "Introducing Robert Newton"; Newton had been an actor since the '20s so we're not sure why he was listed this way), Sybil Thorndike, and Deborah Kerr (in her first role which led to her leading role in Love on the Dole)

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that Italian posters from the first few years after World War II are among the most rare posters there are! Apparently, there were still major paper shortages in Italy, and few posters were printed, and most were recycled. This is an extremely rare first release Italian poster from 1946. Also note that this Italian one-sheet measures 27 1/2" x 39 1/4" [70 x 100 cm].

Condition: fair to good. The poster is very fragile and has tears on parts of the foldlines, and tiny tears and tiny paper loss around the edges, but almost completely in the blank borders. The poster is in urgent need of expert professional restoration. But the poster is mostly "all there", and after linenbacking by a talented professional, the poster will look fantastic, and it will likely require little paint restoration within the image. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored!
