An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Dragonwyck, the 1946 Joseph L. Mankiewicz gothic-period romantic melodrama ("'I don't care whether anyone knows!... It's enough that we know... and will know till the end of our days!'"; "From the novel by Anya Seton"; "All the compelling passion... the gripping suspense... of the great novel... even greater on the screen!"; produced by Ernst Lubitsch & Darryl F. Zanuck) starring Gene Tierney, Walter Huston, Vincent Price, Glenn Langan, Anne Revere, Spring Byington, Connie Marshall, Harry Morgan (billed as "Henry Morgan"), Jessica Tandy and Trudy Marshall. Note that Ernst Lubitsch had suffered a major heart attack in 1943, but wanted to continue working, and he was supposed to direct this movie (as well as a few others), but he was too ill, and he was named as producer (apparently, just as a gesture of kindness). In 1947, Lubitsch passed away from another heart attack at the age of 55. Also note that Connie Marshall was a teen actress who had been a child model, and she had a significant role in "Sunday Dinner for a Soldier" two years before this movie, and then she would have another significant role in "Sentimental Journey" in this same year, but after that, as she aged, her career stalled (she was in some good movies like "Mr. Blandings Builds his Dream House", but she had a minor role), and in 1954, she quit acting and got married and raised a family. She was so forgotten that her passing in 2001 was not noted in the media until five years later. But for a few years in the mid 1940s, she was a top juvenile actress!
