An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style C One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

The Flame of New Orleans, the 1941 Rene Clair Louisiana romantic love triangle comedy (about a beautiful cabaret singer who can't choose between a rich banker and a dashing sea captain) starring Marlene Dietrich, Bruce Cabot, Roland Young, Mischa Auer, Andy Devine, Melville Cooper, Eddie Quillan, Laura Hope Crews, Frank Jenks, Theresa Harris, Clarence Muse, and Shemp Howard (in an uncredited role as an "Oyster Bed Cafe Waiter"!)

Artist: Alberto Vargas
Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this style C one-sheet, and that poster has now been re-consigned to us, so this is still the only example of this poster we have ever auctioned! Also note that Universal hired famed illustrator Alberto Vargas to create an image of Marlene Dietrich for this movie. We have sold a special poster which has that art where it is signed by Vargas, and this poster has that same art, but there is no signature present.

Condition: very good. The poster was partially folded in half an extra time. It has small separation at the crossfolds and someone put a piece of tape on the back of each. It also had separation at the ends of the horizontal folds, and there are small pieces of tape on the back of those areas, and also a small piece of tape on the back of tiny tears in the upper left border. There is a piece of tape on the back of the right of the bottom border, where there was a tear. There are pinholes around the edges and tiny paper loss in the right border. There are some creases scattered throughout. The poster can be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or, after a relatively simple linenbacking, it will display really well!
