Auction History Result 6t192 NIGHT AT THE OPERA linen Belgian R40s cool art of Groucho Marx, Chico Marx & Harpo Marx! Date Sold 5/3/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably late 1940s) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Belgian Movie Poster (measures 11 1/4" x 15 1/2" [29 x 39 cm]) (Learn More) A Night at the Opera, the classic 1935 Sam Wood screwball musical opera romantic comedy starring the Marx Brothers (Groucho Marx as Otis B. Driftwood, Chico Marx as Fiorello, and Harpo Marx as Tomasso), Kitty Carlisle (as Rosa Castaldi), Allan Jones (as Ricardo Baroni), Walter Woolf King (billed as "Walter King"; as Rodolfo Lassparri), Sig Ruman (as Herbert Gottlieb), and Margaret Dumont (as Mrs. Claypool). Note that MGM added a romantic plot to the Marx Bros. typical screwball comedy, and it really adds to the movie, as Carlisle and Jones have real chemistry together, and their songs are excellent. Of course, this is also the movie that has the Marx Bros.' most famous comedy scene, the "stateroom" scene, plus the great scene of Groucho and Chico attempting to sign a contract! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had was printed on the back of another poster, but it is very fortunate that there is very little bleed-through from the back of the other poster, except in the top background area above the writing and Groucho's head, and it is very faint. The poster was folded across the middle and had two small tears in the bottom border and pinholes in the bottom corners. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
