An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Belgian Movie Poster (measures 11" x 14" [28 x 36 cm]) (Learn More) The Shop Around the Corner, the classic 1940 Ernst Lubitsch Budapest Hungary mistaken identity romantic comedy ("Great News! The new film hit by the producer of 'Ninotchka' is here!"; with a wonderful screen play by Samson Raphaelson; about two store employees who search for love through the mail, and they think they found their soulmates, not knowing that it is actually their fellow employee that they can't get along with!) starring James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart; as Mr. Kralik), Margaret Sullavan (as Klara Novak), Frank Morgan (as Mr. Matuschek), Joseph Schildkraut (as Mr. Vadas), Sara Haden, Felix Bressart (as Pirovitch), William Tracy (as Pepi Katona), Inez Courtney, Sarah Edwards, Edwin Maxwell, Charles Halton, and Charles Smith (as Rudy). Note that there was a musical remake of this movie in 1949 with Judy Garland and Van Johnson (as "In the Good Old Summertime"), and another in 1998 with Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan (as "You've Got Mail"), but neither of those captured the magic of the original.

Important Added Info: Note that this poster was printed on the back of an old map! During World War II in Belgium, there was a massive paper shortage, and so they used whatever paper they could find to print the movie posters, and in many cases they used old maps, and printed the movie posters on the reverse. They often also made the posters smaller, so they could get more posters printed. This practice continued for a couple of years after World War II. Since these posters are original, and since all such posters are printed on the back of maps or other posters, this is not considered a defect by almost all collectors. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster was printed on the back of a map and there is slight bleed-through from what was printed on the back in the lighter areas on the front. The poster was likely used for a re-release that was not by the original distributor, and someone cut out the distributor logo from the bottom right corner and someone added an MGM logo to that area by gluing it to the back. Other than the above, the poster was in pretty nice condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and will displays great on the new owner's wall! Learn More about condition grades
