An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked French One-Panel "Grande" Movie Poster (1p; measures 43 1/2" x 62 3/4") (Learn More) Les Enfants du Paradis (released in the U.S. in 1947 as "Children of Paradise") the classic 1945 Marcel Carne French epic theater performing arts romantic love triangle comedy melodrama (covering many years in the lives of many people, including an actress and a famous mime, and their many interlocking relationships; this is rightly considered in the handful of greatest French movies ever made!) starring Arletty, Jean-Louis Barrault, Pierre Brasseur, Pierre Renoir, and Maria Casares. Note that this movie was made immediately after France was liberated from the Nazis in late 1944, and it premiered in Paris in March of 1945, which makes it all the more remarkable! It did not go into general release in France for an entire year after, in March of 1946. It was then slowly released all over Europe, and it opened in America in November of 1946 and in New York City in February of 1947! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Eliane Bonabel Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare "country of origin" poster for this French movie! Condition: very good. The entire poster had darkened. There was tiny paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases and tiny tears in the top of the left and right vertical foldline, and a lesser amount of wear on the other folds. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer linenbacked the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and any restorer could likely touch them up without re-backing the poster).
