An Original Vintage English Movie Trade Ad (measures 11" x 17" [28 x 43 cm]; 2 pages) (Learn More) A Star Is Born, the classic 1954 George Cukor theater stage acting musical romantic melodrama ("We believe there hasn't been before, even once, such a performance by a motion picture star, such perfection in motion picture entertainment!"; "There has been no performance like Judy Garland's. There has been no picture like 'A Star is Born'."; about an aging star who marries an up-and-coming star; partially based on the true story of Al Jolson and Ruby Keeler, which had been previously somewhat covered in "The Jolson Story" in 1946) starring Judy Garland (nominated for of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; her loss to Grace Kelly was famously quipped by Groucho Marx as "the biggest robbery since Brink's"!), James Mason (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Jack Carson, Charles Bickford, Tommy Noonan, Lucy Marlow, Amanda Blake, Irving Bacon, James Brown, Lotus Robb, Richard Webb, and Sam Colt. Note that this movie was loosely remade in 1976, with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristoffersen in the lead roles, and they were updated to being rock 'n' roll (rock and roll) performers. It was remade again in 2018, with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a great two-page trade ad taken out of a Kinematograph Weekly English trade magazine (we have a number of them in this set of auctions, and also some one-page English trade ads and a few English brochures). Studios would run these elaborate 2-page ads in issues of this magazine, and they often had images not found on any of the regular movie posters (either English or U.S.). This 2-page trade ad was removed from a 1954 issue of this magazine, and it will look incredible displayed on the new owner's wall. The back of those two pages have text or ads for other movies from that time, and we have not pictured those back pages because the primary interest to bidders is the great two-page color ad, which measures 11" x 17". Condition: good to very good. The ad was removed from a magazine (see above). It was the centerfold of the magazine so the two pages are on a single sheet, and there are staple holes at the spine (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
