An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Intermezzo: A Love Story, the 1939 Gregory Ratoff romantic love triangle music infidelity melodrama ("As magic as your own surrender to love..."; "An interlude of brief enchantment seized from tomorrow's uncertainty. Dramatized with a romantic new star team... Drawn not from yesterday's story books but from the living world of today."; "An intense and absorbing tale, with the wide, powerful sweep of a great human document... teeming with the passionate and the genial and the bittersweet..."; "Millions of people share the heart-gripping problems portrayed by these three"; about a famous violinist having an affair with a young girl) starring Leslie Howard, Ingrid Bergman (billed as "Introducing Ingrid Bergman"), Edna Best, John Halliday, Cecil Kellaway, Enid Bennett, and Ann E. Todd. Note that producer David O. Selznick was certain that Ingrid Bergman would be a huge star when he signed her to a contract in 1938, having seen her Swedish movies. To play it safe, for her first U.S. movie, he chose to re-make one of her earlier Swedish successes, "Intermezzo", which she had made in 1936 with an all-Swedish cast, in Swedish of course. Selznick's instincts were correct (as he had been so often before, and would be again), and Bergman DID become a huge international star! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

This was printed by Associated Displays Corporation which was a company based in New York City. Before it was discovered by noted poster dealer/historian Walter Reuben, collectors did not know the name of this company (and thought it to be located in the Midwest), and it is often referred to as the "other company" (and we will continue to refer to it that way, since collectors know it that way). From 1936 to roughly 1941, this company printed its own one-sheets and lobby card sets (and a very few inserts, half-sheets, three-sheets, 40x60s and stills) for three major studio movies (Warner Brothers, Paramount and United Artists, but no other studios). The items almost always feature a tiny legal disclaimer and cast credits only. The posters and lobby cards are from the original release of the movie, and almost always have completely different artwork from the regular studio release. They did this by combining elements from different film scenes onto one poster or card. Sometimes, "other company" posters have images that are the equal of those from the regular studio release posters. What IS linenbacking?

The poster had some tiny bits of paper loss and small tears on parts of the folds, with some tack holes around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
