Auction History Result m076 BLACK FRIDAY long Australian daybill movie poster '40 Karloff, Lugosi Date Sold 11/1/2007Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Long Australian Daybill Movie Poster (measures approximately 15" x 40") (Learn More) Black Friday, the 1940 Arthur Lubin Universal mad scientist crime murder horror thriller (a wild story of a mad scientist, played by Boris Karloff, whose friend is badly injured in a car crash by a gangster who is fatally wounded, and the scientist is able to save his friend by transplanting part of the brain of the dead gangster into his friend's brain!; unfortunately, his friend then takes on both his own personality and that of the dead gangster, and he becomes a "Jekyll & Hyde", and when he is the gangster, he is seeking revenge against his gang members, including Bela Lugosi in a surprisingly minor role!) starring Boris Karloff, Bela Lugosi, Stanley Ridges, Anne Nagel, Anne Gwynne, and James Craig. Note that Universal incredibly deceptively advertised this movie! The movie was pre-sold as a Karloff/Lugosi film even though Lugosi only has a small part. They gave Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi equal top billing, and the one-sheet has large head shots of both stars, and poor Stanley Ridges, who was actually the star of the movie, is not even pictured on the poster, although they found room for an image of Anne Nagel!

Important Added Info: Note that this poster can be sent rolled, but the folds are still pronounced after laying flat, so it can also be re-folded (if it is purchased together with rolled material, it can be rolled in, but if it is purchased with flat material, it can be folded and sent that way). Condition: good to very good. There are many extra horizontal folds in the poster. Each is around 3" apart, but none are all that noticeable or distracting. There is a 1" tear in the upper left border and some tiny tears and tiny areas of paper loss in the left and right blank borders. There is a 2" tear in the right of the folds just above the stars' credits at top center and two vertical tears just above the "FF" of "KARLOFF". The poster has many minor defects, but after a simple linenbacking by a talented professional, the poster will look fantastic, and there will be little paint restoration anywhere on the poster!
