An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded British Quad Movie Poster (BQ; Quad Crown; measures approximately 30" x 40") (Learn More) Born Yesterday, the classic 1951 George Cukor (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) Washington D.C. romantic love triangle political corruption comedy ("It's here At Last!"; "Broadway's Biggest Hit... ...now a perfectly swell motion picture!"; "From the Celebrated Stage Play" by Garson Kanin; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a rich but corrupt junk dealer who goes to Washington to win influence through bribes, and he brings his uneducated girlfriend along and he hires a tutor to teach her proper etiquette, and they fall in love and turn the tables on the corrupt man) starring Broderick Crawford, Judy Holliday (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), William Holden, Howard St. John, and Frank Otto. Note that Judy Holliday had created the role of Billie Dawn in the original Broadway version of this play. Harry Cohn paid $1,000,000 for the rights to the play, and he did not want Holliday to play the part, because he thought she was not well enough known and too "ethnic". All of Columbia's top actresses, including Rita Hayworth, were considered for the role before they finally went back to Holliday, which is ironic, since she won the Oscar for Best Actress!

Important Added Info: Note that this British quad was folded vertically three times and horizontally three times (this being folded one time more than is sometimes done, but it is quite common with British quads, especially older ones). Because of this, this quad can be sent in one of our standard size flat packages (but if it is purchased together with quads that have not been folded in the same way, then it will of course have to be sent in one of our tubes if the other quads are unfolded, or, if it is purchased with other quads that are only folded once horizontally than it can either be sent in an oversized flat package, OR in a tube). But if this quad is purchased by itself (or solely with other quads that have been folded the same way), then the shipping can be lower, because it then fits in a standard package. But please realize that because this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time it is likely that the creases have diminished and therefore re-folding the poster will likely bring some of those creases back, but we leave that decision as to whether or not to re-fold the poster up to the individual buyer of this item. UNLESS THE BUYER TELLS US OTHERWISE, THIS QUAD WILL BE SENT ROLLED IN A TUBE. Condition: fair. Learn More about condition grades
