An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Land of Liberty, the 1939 patriotic compilation ("139 famed stars! 1000 explosive thrills!"; "139 famed stars! 200 spectacular scenes! 1000 thrills!"; "The Civil War... brother against brother... friend against friend... but out of it rises a stronger nation!"; edited by Cecil B. Demille from 126 different films) starring (a Who's Who of Hollywood at the time!) "among the 139 stars who appear in this picture"; in alphabetical order: Don Ameche, George Arliss, Edward Arnold, John Barrymore, Lionel Barrymore, Warner Baxter, Wallace Beery, George Brent, Bob Burns, Claudette Colbert, Gary Cooper, Bette Davis, Irene Dunne, Henry Fonda, Joel McCrea, Fredric March, Robert Montgomery, Anna Neagle, George Raft, Randolph Scott, James Stewart, Lewis Stone, Margaret Sullavan, Spencer Tracy, and Loretta Young. Note that each of the lobby cards feature famous stars who made appearances in this DeMille documentary, so those who collect on those stars need to track down that specific scene card, as this IS a movie that starred that actor! Also, note that this film was intended to be a tribute to the beauty and history of the United States, and was shown at the New York World's Fair of 1939/1940, and the 1939 San Francisco Exposition. In 1940, MGM wide-released an updated & edited version (it was 98 minutes instead of the original 138) to theaters, and all known movie paper is from this wide release. Because the 1939 release was so limited (and likely had no mass produced posters), we consider the "regular" release items to be "first release". 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 this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 insert posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 insert posters (note that most post-1970 inserts were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those inserts). Condition: good to very good. The poster has somewhat darkened. There are some creases, surface paper loss and tears of varying lengths around the edges of the poster (1" or less). A few of the defects as described above are repaired with tape from the back. The poster is otherwise in generally nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
