Date Sold 3/5/2013Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1950s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Belgian Movie Poster (measures 14 1/4" x 21" [36 x 53 cm]) (Learn More) City Lights, the classic 1931 Charlie Chaplin silent romantic comedy melodrama (written and directed by Charles Chaplin; Chaplin is a Tramp who befriends a blind flower seller, and he loves her, but is afraid she can't return his love; the movie includes a memorable boxing scene, and a wonderful final scene where the girl is cured of her blindness) starring Charles Chaplin, Virginia Cherrill, Florence Lee, Harry Myers, Al Ernest Garcia, and Hank Mann. Note that Charlie Chaplin stood alone against the coming of sound to movies, and he made this movie as a silent movie, although it had a soundtrack which included the song "Smile", which Chaplin himself wrote. He would release another silent movie, "Modern Times", in 1936, and then finally agreed to make sound pictures! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The right border of the poster was trimmed off. It had minor wear on the horizontal fold and faint stains and surface paper loss in the top blank area where a snipe was removed. There was paper loss in the top left corner. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone did a pretty good job of backing the poster, but they simply glued the blank border from another poster where the blank right border was, and they used a border that had several creases and tears in it! They also glued a piece of another poster over the missing area in the top left corner. In spite of this odd restoration, the poster still displays pretty well. Learn More about condition grades
