An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style Y Thirty by Forty Movie Poster (30x40; measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) A Star Is Born, the classic 1954 George Cukor theater stage acting musical romantic melodrama ("We believe there hasn't been before, even once, such a performance by a motion picture star, such perfection in motion picture entertainment!"; "There has been no performance like Judy Garland's. There has been no picture like 'A Star is Born'."; about an aging star who marries an up-and-coming star; partially based on the true story of Al Jolson and Ruby Keeler, which had been previously somewhat covered in "The Jolson Story" in 1946) starring Judy Garland (nominated for of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; her loss to Grace Kelly was famously quipped by Groucho Marx as "the biggest robbery since Brink's"!), James Mason (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Jack Carson, Charles Bickford, Tommy Noonan, Lucy Marlow, Amanda Blake, Irving Bacon, James Brown, Lotus Robb, Richard Webb, and Sam Colt. Note that this movie was loosely remade in 1976, with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristoffersen in the lead roles, and they were updated to being rock 'n' roll (rock and roll) performers. It was remade again in 2018, with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper! 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 we have never auctioned this first release 30x40 before! It is far more rare than all of the "regular" posters for this movie, and it has a wonderful montage of full-color images that is not on any other poster, and it has far better printing and color than the one-sheet. Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has a few small tears in the blank borders. It has some smudges, faint stains, and scuffs scattered throughout the poster, more so in the light colored areas. I would think that most collectors could display this ultra rare poster exactly as it is, or certainly, one could choose to have restoration performed. Either way, the new owner will have a really cool and extremely rare poster to display on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
