An Original 1946 Vintage Theatrical Folded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Brief Encounter, the classic 1945 (released in the U.S. and Canada in 1946) David Lean (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) English romantic infidelity melodrama ("A story of the most precious moments in a woman's life!"; "Living a love that was not theirs"; "Thrill to Rachmaninoff Concerto No 2 as played by Eileen Joyce"; based on the play by Noel Coward; about two people who are married to others who accidentally meet each other and are irresistibly drawn to each other, but are decent people who want to avoid having an affair; many people, myself included, consider this one of the handful of the finest movies ever made!) starring Celia Johnson ("Whose performance was voted the best of the year 1946 by the New York Critics"; nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Trevor Howard, Stanley Holloway, Joyce Carey, Cyril Raymond, and Valentine Dyall 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 we have never before auctioned this half-sheet! Note that the half-sheet was folded once in each direction at one time. Because the folds are such that they have not diminished over time, AND because the poster was folded down the exact center in each direction, then we MAY fold the half-sheet prior to mailing, if it reduces shipping costs, and if you do not also purchase other half-sheets that need to be sent rolled. So it will be sent either rolled in a tube or folded in a standard flat package. Condition: good to very good. The poster has some creases along the folds. It has some pinholes and tears around the edges. It has a 7" tear at upper right, with some creases below it. It has small paper loss in the upper left blank border. Someone put a piece of tape on the back of that. There are some creases and scuffs scattered in the poster, including in the face of Johnson at upper left. I would think this extremely rare poster would respond really well to professional restoration and paperbacking, but bear its defects in mind before bidding. Learn More about condition grades
