An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Man's Castle, the 1933 Frank Borzage Depression era romantic love triangle melodrama ("Her heart was like a secret city... but his flaming love laid siege to it and captured her forevermore..."; "Theirs was a love as mighty as life itself!"; "They drank freely from the fountain of love --- intoxicated with a passion that blinded them to all but their own great romance--"; "'Love me more than yesterday - and less today than tomorrow...'"; "From the story by Lawrence Hazard"; in sharp counterpoint to the cheery romantic musicals that were popular at the time, this movie has Tracy as a wandering laborer who meets up with beautiful yet broke Loretta Young and he marries her, but, as is his style, plans to move on, but when he discovers she is pregnant, he tries to commit a major robbery so that he can leave her with enough money to take care of her and her baby; unsentimental and reflective of the desperation of those times!) starring Spencer Tracy, Loretta Young, Glenda Farrell (as a showgirl who wants Tracy for a playmate!), Arthur Hohl, Walter Connolly, Marjorie Rambeau, Dickie Moore, and Helen Jerome Eddy 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 first release 1933 movie posters and lobby cards from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only auctioned three window cards and four lobby cards from this movie until we received this insert! Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we think it would have a strong chance of lessening its condition, so we will only send it in a large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage).

Prior to paperbacking, the poster had fine surface paper loss and some tiny creases along the folds, with some small tears and tiny paper loss in the left 4" of each fold (it had a greater amount of tears and paper loss in the left 1" of the bottom horizontal fold). It also had a few tears and tiny paper loss around the edges, and some faint scuffs and smudges scattered through the image. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
