Auction History Result 2z007 ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT 1sh '42 great c/u of tough Humphrey Bogart pointing gun, ultra rare! Date Sold 12/8/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) All Through the Night, the 1942 Vincent Sherman World War II (WWII) Nazi spy espionage gambling gangster crime film noir ("The underworld's top trigger-guy blasts away at the toughest mob he's ever faced!"; "It's a shooting battle-royal!"; "From a story by Leonard Q. Ross and Leonard Spigelgass"; about some Damon Runyon-esque Broadway gangsters/gamblers, who accidentally stumble on a Nazi spy ring, and they become patriotic and break it up) starring Humphrey Bogart, Conrad Veidt, Kaaren Verne, Jane Darwell, Frank McHugh, Peter Lorre, Judith Anderson, Jackie Gleason, William Demarest, Phil Silvers, and Sam McDaniel. Note that some of the U.S. posters for this movie used images of Bogart from the 1941 film "High Sierra" (the same is true of some posters for "The Maltese Falcon"!). Note that in all three of these movies (All Through the Night, High Sierra, and The Maltese Falcon), Humphrey Bogart only got the lead part because George Raft turned down the lead in all three! Also, Conrad Veidt was only able to play the lead Nazi in this movie because Warner Bros. "borrowed" him from MGM, just as they did with Casablanca. Finally, note that Peter Lorre later married leading lady Kaaren Verne! 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 this poster is extremely rare. Perhaps it is related to the movie coming out after America joined World War II, when there were many paper shortages. We have never auctioned it in all our years of auctioning! Note that all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I of eMoviePoster.com's December Major Auction were consigned to us by legendary French dealer/collector Dominique Besson. Dominique Besson started collecting movie posters in 1981, and became a dealer in French and European posters in 1994, and has remained as a top dealer ever since! But in addition, 30 years ago, Dominique began collecting U.S. one-sheets, first those with Saul Bass art, and then adding Alfred Hitchcock posters, then Humphrey Bogart, and he finally ended up collecting in an amazing total of 47 different categories, purchasing the posters from all over the world! Now the time has come to sell this wonderful collection, and Dominique has chosen eMoviePoster.com to do so, through our auctions! As noted above, all but 28 of the folded one-sheets in this Part I come from this more remarkable collection (the 28 that do not were consigned to us by other collectors, and are clearly marked). This is not all of the Dominique Besson collection we are auctioning. In addition, there are approximately 200 more folded one-sheets that will be in Part IV of this special auction (ones from the 1970s to present), and there are approximately 100 unfolded one-sheets that will be in Part III (including many great ones). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase folded one-sheets (all of which have had no professional restoration) from one of the greatest one-sheet collections assembled! Note that this one-sheet is from the category that Dominique Besson collected on that he labeled "Humphrey Bogart". Condition: very good. The poster was lightly partially folded in half two extra times, and the bottom 3" were folded over. There are tiny pinholes around the edges and the tiniest of paper loss at the bottom two crossfolds. Other than the above truly minor defects, the poster is in nice condition. The poster could absolutely be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or one could choose to have the above minor defects corrected through linenbacking. Either way, the new owner will have a great poster to display on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
