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

Hold Back the Dawn, the 1941 Mitchell Leisen romantic love triangle sham marriage melodrama ("Written by Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder from a story by Ketti Frings"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a Romanian gigolo who marries a naive American woman, to get his citizenship, planning on dumping her and re-joining his girlfriend, but then he falls in love with her!) starring Charles Boyer, Olivia de Havilland (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Paulette Goddard, Victor Francen, and Walter Abel. Note that both Olivia De Havilland and her sister, Joan Fontaine, were nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award in 1942, and Fontaine won for her performance in Suspicion. This further strained an already tenuous relationship between the sisters, and they never reconciled before Fontaine's death in 2013!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been kraftbacked, which means it was backed onto a brown paper soon after it was printed (this process is called "kraft-backing", and posters with it are called "kraft-backed"). One could have it professionally removed from the kraft paper and linenbacked, and it would look great!

Condition: good to very good. The poster was kraftbacked (see above). It was folded in half an extra time and has some wear (see our image).
