An Original Vintage Linenbacked English Special Movie Poster (measures 14 3/4" x 22 3/4" [37 x 58 cm]) (Learn More) I Take This Woman, the 1940 W.S. Van Dyke (billed as "W.S. Van Dyke II") romantic marriage melodrama ("Man of the hour! Woman of flame!"; "Original story by Charles MacArthur"; about a doctor who helps poor people, who marries a beautiful woman who wants him to be rich, so he abandons the poor and starts treating rich people) starring Spencer Tracy, Hedy Lamarr, Verree Teasdale, Kent Taylor, Laraine Day, Marjorie Main, Willie Best, Louis Calhern, and Dalies Frantz. Note that this was a very troubled production. Josef von Sternberg was the original director and quit, and was replaced by Frank Borzage, but then the entire movie was shelved for 10 months. At that point, W.S. Van Dyke was hired, and he pretty much re-shot the entire movie, even though a lot of it had already been shot, and he also re-cast several of the lead roles (for example, Jack Carson is credited, but he only has one line that remained in the movie, and that one was dubbed, because he was not available to re-take it when the movie was being edited)!

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this special poster. Those posters were newspaper inserts, and one of the examples we auctioned was included in a June 11th, 1940 English newspaper called Daily Sketch. We imagine this one came from the same newspaper (or a different one), but we have no way to tell. Finally, note that the poster has an artist's signature on it, but we cannot read it. If anyone knows the name of this artist or anything more about the above, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster had some tiny paper loss on parts of the folds and tack holes in the corners. It appears that after it was backed, it acquired some faint brown stains scattered throughout, most noticeable in the solid white areas. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its significant defects. Learn More about condition grades
