An Undated (probably 1940s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Folded Autographed One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Becky Sharp, the 1935 Rouben Mamoulian & Lowell Sherman (see below) Battle of Waterloo historical melodrama ("The first full-length production stunningly photographed in wondrous new Technicolor"; "Filmed in the wondrous beauty of the new Technicolor"; "Based on Thackeray's 'Vanity Fair'") starring Miriam Hopkins (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; in the title role as Becky Sharp), Frances Dee, Cedric Hardwicke, Billie Burke, Nigel Bruce, Alan Mowbray, and G.P. Huntley. Note that this was the first full-length feature filmed in Three-Strip Technicolor! Also note that three weeks after filming began on this movie with Lowell Sherman, he caught pneumonia and died, and Rouben Mamoulian was hired to take over, and he chose to scrap the film shot by Sherman during his three weeks on the job, so it is entirely a Mamoulian directed film, even though Sherman was co-credited (out of respect for his passing).

Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been personally autographed (signed) by Alan Mowbray! Our consignor purchased this poster from the estate of an extremely dedicate Miriam Hopkins collector, who likely met Alan Mowbray and acquired his signature on this poster, which he displayed in his home until his passing. Also note that this poster was mounted onto a heavy board and will need to be sent in a very large flat package. Condition: fair to good. The poster was mounted onto a heavy poster board. At some point after it was mounted, it was roughly handled, and there is now paper loss in three blank corners and a water stain in the fourth corner, where the poster is slightly lifting from the heavy board.
