An Undated (probably 1940s) Re-Release Theatrical Folded Belgian Movie Poster (measures 10 1/4" x 13 1/2" [26 x 34 cm]) (Learn More) Rose Marie, the classic 1936 W.S. Van Dyke Royal Canadian Mounted Police Mountie romantic northern-western musical ("Singing sweethearts back again!") starring Jeanette MacDonald (in the title role as Rose Marie), Nelson Eddy, Reginald Owen, Allan Jones, James Stewart (in his second credited role!), Alan Mowbray, and Gilda Gray 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 is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! This poster is printed on the back of a map or part of another poster! Why is this? During World War II, there were massive paper shortages in Belgium. Where Belgian movie posters had previously been approximately 23" x 32", there was such a shortage of paper that not only did they often have to print them on the back of other posters or maps, but during World War II, the size of the posters shrank dramatically, with some of them as small as 11" x 15". This situation continued even after World War II, until around 1946 or 1947, when they began making Belgian movie posters in a size of roughly 14" x 22", which became the standard size, and continued for decades! The posters like these that are from during World War II or immediately after, and which are printed in a small size (often on the back of other posters or maps) are INCREDIBLY rare (surely they did not print many, and surely many of them were soon recycled themselves! Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 10 1/4" x 13 1/2" [26 x 34 cm]. Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. The poster has been trimmed around the edges. It has a small tear at lower center and a small amount of pencil writing at top. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid.
