Auction History Result 8j437 SEPTEMBER AFFAIR standee '51 William Dieterle, Joan Fontaine & Joseph Cotten live for today! Date Sold 6/30/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Standee (measures 32 1/2" x 59" [83 x 150 cm]) (Learn More) September Affair, the classic 1951 William Dieterle romantic melodrama ("...it happened in Capri!"; "Let's live for today!"; "From a story by Fritz Rotter and Robert Thoeren"; about a man and woman who are traveling in Italy and after a crash, they are thought dead, which allows them to start a life over together, but eventually, they realize they can't leave their pasts behind) starring Joan Fontaine, Joseph Cotten, Francoise Rosay, Jessica Tandy, Robert Arthur, and James Lydon. Note that the movie is notable for having mature actors in the lead roles (rare for a Hollywood movie), and the song "September Affair", which was recorded by Walter Huston shortly before his death. It was played in the movie and released as a single afterwards and was extremely popular! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that several months ago, we were consigned around a dozen standees that were similar to this one. Just about every one of them is "die-cut", meaning that they are cut around the edges to the shape of the image. But while those were from the same time period, they had been poorly stored, and most were quite musty and had other condition issues. NOW WE HAVE BEEN CONSIGNED A DIFFERENT MUCH LARGER GROUP OF 85 STANDEES LIKE THESE, BUT WHILE THESE ALSO HAVE CONDITION ISSUES, THEY ARE NOT "MUSTY" LIKE THE EARLIER ONES WERE! They were apparently stored far better, and while they have aged over the past 60 or 70 years, but most of the defects were likely acquired when they were first used. See the condition area below for a full description of the condition each standee is in, but know that this is a remarkable collection that was well stored for many decades (and standees like this have always been quite rare, because few survived, likely because theaters discarded them after using them)! There are two circular pieces of cardboard attached to the back of the standee that once had a string between them (this is how the standees were originally made), but the strings are no longer present, pretty unusual for standees of this age. This does not have any kind of regular standee backing. We are guessing that you were supposed to lean the standee against a pole and tie the strings from the circles around the pole, but that is just a guess! Condition: fair. There are some smudges and stains scattered in the image (including in the stars). It also has many horizontal scuffs scattered throughout through the standee and some creases around the edges. The die-cut areas have only slight wear, which is very unusual in standees like these (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
