Auction History Result 3c244 WIFE VERSUS SECRETARY 40x60 '36 great headshots of Clark Gable, Jean Harlow & Myrna Loy! Date Sold 12/3/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Forty by Sixty Movie Poster (40x60; measures 40" x 60" [102 x 152 cm]) (Learn More) Wife Vs. Secretary, the 1936 Clarence Brown romantic love misunderstanding comedy (about a happily married couple; the husband has a beautiful secretary, and the wife misunderstands something that happens and she thinks that her husband might be having an affair) starring Clark Gable, Jean Harlow (in the title role as the secretary, Helen Wilson), Myrna Loy (in the title role as the wife, Linda Stanhope), May Robson, George Barbier, James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart; in his fourth movie role!), Hobart Cavanaugh, and John Qualen. Note that Jean Harlow plays Clark Gable's secretary, and in the movie, he is madly in love with wife Myrna Loy, and it is only a misunderstanding that causes Loy to think there is something between Gable and Harlow, and the entire movie is very innocent. Note too that Harlow's boyfriend is played by an extremely young Jimmy Stewart! 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 poster is a complete mystery to us! It is certainly quite old, and it seems unlikely to us that it could possibly date from after the 1940s, and it could well be original to 1936. But we have never see a 40x60 like this, and the greatest mystery is why it was printed without the title! It looks like it is intended to be a stock poster with a blank area at bottom right, but the poster would only work for all three stars, and they didn't make a series of movies together, and besides, the inset scenes are from "Wife vs. Secretary". It is also a black & white poster, which seems odd for such major stars. We wonder if it isn't some sort of "test" poster that was created to get the approval of the design, with the plan to add the color and title once it was approved. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept the uncertainty as to its origin and purpose!
