Auction History Result g025 NIGHT AT THE OPERA linen Yugoslavian movie poster '50s Marx Bros Date Sold 12/19/2006Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Undated (probably 1950s; from the first Yugoslavian release of this movie) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Yugoslavian Movie Poster (measures 19 1/2" x 27 1/2") (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. Condition: very good. The poster had tiny surface paper loss on parts of some foldlines and some creases in the top left in the background areas. There was some bleed through from some writing on the back of the poster in the top left yellow and green area and some smudges and tiny tears around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer linenbacked the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the tiny defects, but they are really not at all distracting (and any restorer could easily touch them up without re-backing the poster).
