The Wild Heart (also released as "Gypsy Blood"; this is the re-edited version of "Gone to Earth" which was filmed in 1950), the 1952 Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger English/U.S. romantic tragic melodrama ("LOST to a love she was helpless to resist! ... Jennifer Jones in a performance as memorable as those she gave in 'DUEL IN THE SUN', and 'SONG OF BERNADETTE'."; "A performance as memorable as those she gave in 'The Song of Bernadette' and Duel In The Sun'."; "Alexander Korda presents a production of The Archers"; "Lost to a love without question!... The fire of 'Duel in the Sun'; the grandeur of 'Song of Bernadette'."; "Written, Produced and Directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger"; based on the novel by Mary Webb; about a beautiful girl who lives in the woods and befriends animals and has a beloved pet fox, and she meets a local squire who unfortunately organizes fox hunts, which kind of guarantees their romance is doomed) starring Jennifer Jones, David Farrar, Cyril Cusack, Sybil Thorndike, and Edward Chapman. Note that two of the greatest people in film history clashed on the making of this movie! The original version in 1950 was called "Gone to Earth", and producer David O. Selznick was distressed to see that his beautiful young wife Jennifer Jones did not have nearly as much screen time as he wished! That led to a court battle between Powell and Selznick, and ultimately, the movie was re-edited and re-released two years later as "The Wild Heart", retaining only two-thirds of the original movie, with the added one-third including many close-ups of Jennifer Jones!

Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare "country of origin" poster for this partially English movie! Also note that we have never seen this English one-sheet! We have sold several posters from the 1952 U.S. re-edited release under the title of "The Wild Heart", but the only poster we have ever sold from the original 1950 release was a Japanese poster, and that auctioned for $339

What IS linenbacking? "Linenbacking" is a process that is used to preserve movie posters (the best restorers de-acidify the poster during the restoration process), and to make them far easier to display (it is much easier and less expensive to frame a linenbacked poster). When linenbacking is done correctly, it adds to the value of the poster, and is NOT a defect! Note that the specific poster in this auction was well linenbacked, but the restorer did not attempt to make the poster look "perfect". You may still see some slight evidence of the restoration and/or the defects when you look at the poster from inches away, and you may be able to see slight signs of restoration even from a distance. But the poster now looks quite nice, and I think most collectors would be quite happy to display this poster on their wall. In general, know that we received many of the linenbacked posters we are currently selling already linenbacked, but we have examined every poster EXTREMELY carefully, and we did our best to describe what condition the poster was in PRIOR to restoration, the defects the poster had PRIOR to restoration (in the "Pre-Restoration Defects & Quality of Restoration" section), any unrestored defects, and, when it seemed worth noting, something about the quality of the restoration itself. Many other auction houses claim to match what we do in this area, but EVERY person who regularly buys movie posters from major auctions can tell you this is just not the case! We never intentionally overgrade a single item, we never "accidentally" miss defects, and we never enhance a single image!
