An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Other Company Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Four Feathers, the 1939 Zoltan Korda English epic desert military cavalry war adventure thriller ("8,000 savage dervishes roar down the screen in violent onslaught!"; "Every emotion the screen can ever give you... all in one Magnificent picture!"; "7,200 seconds of breathless entertainment.. and every one of them packed with flesh-and-blood excitement!"; "From the novel by A.E.W. Mason"; produced by Alexander Korda; about a British army officer who must make up for his cowardice by helping his friends; a re-make of the 1929 movie of the same name) starring Ralph Richardson, C. Aubrey Smith, John Clements, June Duprez, and Allan Jeayes. Note that June Duprez became a major star in England after the release of Alexander Korda's "The Thief of Bagdad" in 1940. She went to Hollywood, but her agent thought she was a major star and wanted $50,000 per movie for her, and that priced her out of the market, so she only made a handful of movies. She then acted on Broadway for a while, and then married and returned to England. 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: This was printed by Associated Displays Corporation which was a company based in New York City. Before it was discovered by noted poster dealer/historian Walter Reuben, collectors did not know the name of this company (and thought it to be located in the Midwest), and it is often referred to as the "other company" (and we will continue to refer to it that way, since collectors know it that way). From 1936 to roughly 1941, this company printed its own one-sheets and lobby card sets (and a very few inserts, half-sheets, three-sheets, 40x60s and stills) for three major studio movies (Warner Brothers, Paramount and United Artists, but no other studios). The items almost always feature a tiny legal disclaimer and cast credits only. The posters and lobby cards are from the original release of the movie, and almost always have completely different artwork from the regular studio release. They did this by combining elements from different film scenes onto one poster or card. Sometimes, "other company" posters have images that are the equal of those from the regular studio release posters. Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: fair. The poster appears to have been crushed while rolled at one time (see our image). It has creases and tears of varying lengths around the edges and someone backed several of them with tape and performed amateur restoration (which can be clearly seen in our image). Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid and please do not bid unless you can accept the defects described above, or you are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
