Auction History Result 7a0688 LLOYDS OF LONDON linen int'l 1sh 1936 cool art montage of Bartholomew, Carroll & Power, rare! Date Sold 8/4/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked International One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Lloyds of London, the 1936 Henry King England finance banking insurance romantic historical biography (produced by Darryl F. Zanuck; about Jonathan Blake, the man who help found the famous English insurance firm, but the movie takes GREAT liberties with what really occurred, and only has the slightest connection to the real story!) starring Freddie Bartholomew (as the young Jonathan Blake; his role is fairly minor, but he still got top billing, reflective of how big a star he was at this time!), Madeleine Carroll, Guy Standing (billed as "Sir Guy Standing"), Tyrone Power Jr. (as Jonathan Blake; in his first big success, but he is fourth billed), C. Aubrey Smith, Virginia Field, George Sanders (low billed, in his first year of credits roles!), "and a Mammoth Cast". Note that Freddie Bartholomew was at the height of his career when this movie was made, and even though he only played the star of the movie as a youth in a short part of the movie, he was still given top billing! Also note that this movie had a brief release at the end of 1936 (no doubt to qualify for awards), but went into wide release of January of 1937, so some of the movie paper for it is dated 1936 and some of it is dated 1937, but it is all from the first release of the movie.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this international style one-sheet (see below), and only one in the last 20 years! Note that this is not the regular U.S. one-sheet for this movie. It is what is believed to be an international style. It appears to definitely be from 1936 (although it is undated), but it does not have the usual small writing at the bottom, and instead says solely, "LITHO IN U.S.A." in the bottom left (and it has "LLOYDS OF LONDON 1Sht." stamped on the back). The artwork is similar to that of the regular style B one-sheet, but it is also clearly different! What IS linenbacking?
