An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Belgian Movie Poster (measures 24" x 33 1/2" [61 x 85 cm]) (Learn More) Tol'able David, the 1930 John G. Blystone romantic melodrama ("Joseph Hergesheimer's Immortal Classic"; "Treatment, Dialogue & Continuity by Benjamin Glazer"; about a very easy going fellow in a rural community, but when his brother turns over his mailman job to him, he comes in contact with a really bad set of brothers, who take joy in tormenting him) starring Richard Cromwell ("The Screen's Latest Sensation"; in the title role as David Kinemon), Noah Beery Sr., Joan Peers, George Duryea, and Henry B. Walthall. Note that this was a short story written by Joseph Hergesheimer, which was adapted into a film in 1921 right after it was written, and then it was remade in 1930 as a sound movie. It seems that Kenny Rogers borrowed this story for his hit song "Coward of the County"! 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 a rare "pre-War" Belgian poster. Prior to World War II, Belgian posters were much larger than the ones from after the war, and they are extremely rare (because during WWII, there was a massive paper shortage in Belgium, and they took virtually every poster and map, and printed new posters on the backs of them. Note also 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. There is light rippling and slight discoloration scattered in portions of the poster due to exposure to moisture. There is a large tear at right that has been repaired with tape from the back that slightly bleeds through to the front and there are some lesser tears of varying lengths around the edges (partially repaired with tape from the back as well). Certainly a competent restorer could repair the defects described above, but please bear in mind the cost of restoration before placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
