Date Sold 9/3/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Paper Banner (measures 24" x 81 1/2" [61 x 207 cm]) (Learn More) I Take This Woman, the 1940 W.S. Van Dyke (billed as "W.S. Van Dyke II") romantic marriage melodrama ("Man of the hour! Woman of flame!"; "Original story by Charles MacArthur"; about a doctor who helps poor people, who marries a beautiful woman who wants him to be rich, so he abandons the poor and starts treating rich people) starring Spencer Tracy, Hedy Lamarr, Verree Teasdale, Kent Taylor, Laraine Day, Marjorie Main, Willie Best, Louis Calhern, and Dalies Frantz. Note that this was a very troubled production. Josef von Sternberg was the original director and quit, and was replaced by Frank Borzage, but then the entire movie was shelved for 10 months. At that point, W.S. Van Dyke was hired, and he pretty much re-shot the entire movie, even though a lot of it had already been shot, and he also re-cast several of the lead roles (for example, Jack Carson is credited, but he only has one line that remained in the movie, and that one was dubbed, because he was not available to re-take it when the movie was being edited)!

Important Added Info: Note that paper banners can be found from many 1950s movies, and they are sometimes thought to have been created for drive-in movies. But they were also made as early as the 1930s (and possibly even earlier), but these are incredibly rare, and almost none survive from any movies at all! What IS linenbacking?

The banner had many stains, tears, and some paper loss around the edges and many scuffs and stains scattered throughout, with some small paper loss, stains, and vertical creases in the image as well. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
