An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style B Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) The Lady from Shanghai, the 1947 Orson Welles Asian China romantic crime film noir ("'Do all rich women play games like this?'"; "'I told you... You know nothing about wickedness.'"; "I didn't want money... she knew that when I went to work for her!"; "Soon everyone will know the Lady from Shanghai - Be sure to meet her!"; "Exciting story of a reckless & notorious woman of the world!"; "Story of a reckless woman!"; "Screenplay and Production by Orson Welles"; about an ordinary seaman who sees a beautiful woman on a yacht and gets a job on it so he can be near her, and he ends up involved in a complicated murder plot) starring Rita Hayworth, Orson Welles, Everett Sloane, Glenn Anders, Ted de Corsia, and Evelyn Ellis. Note that director/star Orson Welles was married to Rita Hayworth, and he co-wrote this screenplay as a way for him to star opposite her! Also note that this movie was originally filmed in 1946, but it was not released in the U.S. at that time. It was finally released in France in December 1947, and at that time, U.S. posters were printed with 1947 NSS numbers, but it did not finally open in the U.S. until 1948!

Important Added Info: Note that oddly, the half-sheet posters from this Rita Hayworth/Orson Welles movie are far more rare than all the other sizes! We have previously auctioned all the different sizes of posters from this movie (including three-sheets and six-sheets!), but we had never auctioned a half-sheet (either style) until we were consigned the style A half-sheet in June 2017, when a paperbacked example sold for $785. Now we have been consigned a style B half-sheet for the first time (and its image is completely different from that of the style A half-sheet)! Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It was surely displayed in a frame, because the back of it has darkened, but it did not darken the front. The front of the poster has some creases scattered across the middle and creases, pinholes, and dot stains scattered across the top and bottom borders, with a lesser amount in the left and right borders. It has a small tear in the left border that has a small piece of tape on the front and back of it, and there is a small piece of tape on the back of a tear near the right end of the top blank border. There are some smudges and faint stains around the edges and a very few scattered in the image. If I owned this great rare poster, I would have a professional restore it and paperback it. Since many of the defects are in the borders, and since many of the defects within the image are faint smudges or faint stains, it is likely many of them can be removed through chemical means, and after proper restoration, the poster will display great, and likely have little paint restoration anywhere in the image. But please read the above and look at our super-sized photo before bidding on this really rare poster! Learn More about condition grades
