Appears in John Wayne Movie Posters at Auction CATALOG SOLD OUT The image at right appears in the auction catalog we published as shown above and was sold long ago and we do NOT have it available for purchase. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded style D One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Reunion in France, the 1942 Jules Dassin World War II (WWII) military romantic love triangle melodrama ("Thrilling romance of the underground revolt!"; set just before the German occupation of France; about a Frenchwoman who is engaged to an industrialist, and when the Germans occupy France, they commandeer her house and she finds her fiance is collaborating with the Germans, and then her loyalty to France is put to the test when she finds a downed American pilot and helps him escape) starring Joan Crawford, John Wayne, Philip Dorn, Reginald Owen, Albert Bassermann, John Carradine, Ann Ayars, J. Edward Bromberg, Moroni Olsen, Henry Daniell, and Ava Gardner (uncredited as a salesgirl). Note that this was Joan Crawford and John Wayne's only movie together and it was released one month before Casablanca. Like that movie, it was intended to instill patriotism in U.S. audiences, but it is not nearly as effective, and John Wayne does not even enter the movie until around 40 minutes have passed! Also note that this was director Jules Dassin's third movie (one of his earlier two was the similar "Nazi Agent"). After World War II, he would make some great film noirs, and then he made his greatest movie, Du Rififi Chez Les Hommes in 1955, and Never on Sunday in 1960, and Topkapi in 1962. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. 1" wide white conservation tape across the back of the entire bottom border and across the back of much of the left border, and on the back of the right 12" of the top border; there is also some of the same tape on the back of the top 2" of the vertical foldline and on the back of the top and bottom left corners of the image. Apparently, this tape was put there to cover pinholes and tears, to keep the poster from tearing further; there is a 3" uneven tear at the right of the middle foldline; there are nine small pieces of tape on the back of the poster covering pinholes that are around the edges of the image area; in addition, there are around fifteen tiny pinholes without tape on the back of them scattered down the center of the image; there is tape on the back of the left 4" of the top foldline. In terms of actual defects, the poster mostly just has the tears, the pinholes, and the separations, with little actual paper loss anywhere but within the pinholes. The poster is in better condition than the above makes is sound! Its defects are the sort that respond well to restoration. After linenbacking by a talented professional, the poster would look great, and it would have little paint restoration anywhere on it! Learn More about condition grades
