An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style A Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Rudyard Kipling's The Light That Failed, the 1939 William A. Wellman England artist-going-blind tragic romantic melodrama ("Ronald Colman in Rudyard Kipling's famous story of heroism, love and high adventure!"; "Screen play by Robert Carson"; "A great picture surges from the pages of Kipling's mighty story"; "Based on the novel by Rudyard Kipling"; about an artist who needs to complete his masterpiece before he goes blind!) starring Ronald Colman, Walter Huston, Ida Lupino, Muriel Angelus, and Dudley Digges NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned this poster in all our years of auctioning, not only that, but while we have auctioned an "Other Company" three-sheet and half-sheet, this is the first studio first released poster we have ever auctioned! Note also that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters. Condition: good. There are many creases scattered throughout the poster and some wear along the folds. Fortunately there are fewer creases in the star's faces. The poster had 3" of separation at the bottom of the vertical fold and 1 1/2" at the top. Someone put paper tape on the back of those areas and also on the back of some border tears. There are some smudges and stains around the edges. This incredibly rare poster can still be displayed as it is, as the defects are not that distracting from a reasonable viewing distance and of course can be performed.
