Auction History Result 3j0480 QUEEN CHRISTINA linen French 1p R1940s different art of Greta Garbo & John Gilbert, very rare! Date Sold 12/20/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1940s) Re-Release Theatrical Linenbacked French One-Panel "Grande" Movie Poster (1p; measures 43 1/2" x 62 3/4" [110 x 159 cm]) (Learn More) Queen Christina, the 1933 Rouben Mamoulian Sweden royalty doomed romance romantic melodrama ("The Secret Loves of Queen Christina"; about a Swedish Queen who falls in love with a Spaniard, but is forced to marry her cousin) starring Greta Garbo (in the title role as Queen Christina; "Garbo returns"; "Triumphant return to the screen"), John Gilbert, Ian Keith, Lewis Stone, Elizabeth Young, C. Aubrey Smith, and Reginald Owen. Note that this John Gilbert sound movie, like all his sound movies, completely dispels the myth that he had a high-pitched speaking voice, which ended his career! Actually, he had a fine speaking voice, and there is much speculation as to what it was that actually ended his career, and that can be found in various places on the Internet, but it was definitely not his voice! Also, note that after making four movies in 1931, Garbo took an 18 month break before making this her next movie, and so it was advertised as her "triumphant return to the screen".

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this French poster, and that was 11 years ago! That poster has been reconsigned to us, so it is still the only example we have ever auctioned! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had an irregularly shaped area of paper loss at the top crossfold, including in the end of Gilbert's nose and in the background above and below it. There was tiny paper loss at some other crossfolds and some creases and tiny tears on parts of some foldlines and in parts of the borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the restoration at the top crossfold.
