A 1946 Re-Release Theatrical Paperbacked French One-Panel "Grande" Movie Poster (1p; measures 46 3/4" x 63" [119 x 160 cm]) (Learn More) Zero de Conduite: Jeunes Diables au College (released in the U.S. as "Zero For Conduct"), the classic 1933 Jean Vigo French boarding school juvenile delinquent comedy short starring Jean Daste, Robert le Flon, Delphin, and Du Verron, and Leon Larive. Note that this classic movie opened in Paris in 1933, and it shocked and outraged many critics and film goers, and it was immediately banned! It was not shown again in France until 1946, when it was rediscovered by critics, and of course, it came to be considered a classic, and it is clear that it greatly inspired both Francois Truffaut's "The 400 Blows" and Lindsay Anderson's "If..." (and to be fair, its most famous scene, with a wild pillow fight, clearly itself found inspiration in Abel Gance's "Napoleon"!). We do not know if any posters exist from the 1933 showing. There are French one-panel posters from 1946, and there are also many reproductions and much later re-releases of the 1946 poster. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Jean Colin Important Added Info: Note that this extremely poster has been heavily reproduced (see above). This absolutely is the original 1946 re-release poster for this classic movie! We have only auctioned one example of it in all our years of auctioning, and that one sold for $751. Note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this French movie! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had darkening on the folds, as do all examples of this poster I am aware of. It had some tiny surface paper loss on small parts of some folds and minor border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to paperbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
