A 1949 Re-Release Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

The Lady Eve, the classic 1941 Preston Sturges romantic gambling con man idle rich mistaken identity screwball comedy ("Barbara Stanwyck has Henry Fonda Bewitched and Bewildered in The Lady Eve"; "Barbara's Got Henry Falling For Her!..."; "Oops! There He Goes Again!"; "He Down For The Third Time..."; "Right into Barbara's arms... she's got him now - and does he love it!"; "Another Preston Sturges Hit!"; "This miss's kiss is packed with blisses! Should I run or make her Mrs.? Trouble is. She reminisces. What a dizzy Eden this is!"; "Screenplay based on a story by Monckton Hoffe"; "Written and directed by Preston Sturges"; about a nerdy anthropologist on an ocean liner voyage, who gets swindled by an old gambler/cheat and his beautiful daughter, and later, she tries to do it again by impersonating a completely different woman, but he is sure she is the woman he met before) starring Barbara Stanwyck, Henry Fonda, Charles Coburn, Eugene Pallette, Martha O'Driscoll, William Demarest, Eric Blore, Janet Beecher, Melville Cooper, and Robert Greig. Note that the credit "Screenplay based on a story by Monckton Hoffe" sounds reminiscent of a W.C. Fields credit for himself under a wacky pseudonym, but actually, Monckton Hoffe is a real man, who was an Irish playwright, who worked in Hollywood mostly in the late 1920s through the early 1940s, but "The Lady Eve" is far and away his most famous credit!

Important Added Info: Note that the last time we auctioned a first release one-sheet from this classic 1941 movie, it auctioned for $8,500. This 1949 re-release was issued just eight years later, and yet it will sell for a fraction of that price, making it a very attractive alternative to someone who doesn't want to spend the money required to purchase the first release poster!

Condition: good to very good. The poster has a few pinholes around the edges and some small separation and paper loss at the bottom crossfold. There are creases and relatively small vertical tears of varying lengths along portions of the center horizontal fold (see our image). The desirable poster (see above) is otherwise generally in pretty nice condition, and while it could be displayed as is, after a relatively simple linenbacking it would look great!
