An Unfolded S2 Re-Creation One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More)

It Happened One Night, the classic 1934 Frank Capra (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) runaway-heiress-with-undercover-reporter-who-are-complete-opposites-but-fall-in-love-anyway romantic screwball comedy ("Together for the first time!"; "From the Cosmopolitan Magazine story by Samuel Hopkins Adams"; "Screenplay by Robert Riskin"; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Clark Gable (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Claudette Colbert (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Walter Connolly, Roscoe Karns, Alan Hale Sr., Ward Bond, and Jameson Thomas. Note that this is a wonderful movie that contains many memorable scenes (perhaps most notably when Gable "instructs" Colbert on how to hitchhike), but it is also memorable for the scene where Gable reveals that he was not wearing an undershirt, which caused undershirt sales to plunge nationwide, and they never recovered!

Important Added Info: Note that this is a poster from the "S2 Art Group". This company bought 100 year-old lithograph presses, and completely refurbished them, and recreated stone litho printing plates for classic movie posters, and then printed them on the 100 year-old presses, in exactly the same way the posters were originally printed (re-creating them down to the finest detail within the art, and even including the tiny writing from the bottom of the poster), and exactly 27" x 41"! In some ways they are better, because they are printed on a much higher quality paper (similar to that of a 30x40, but somewhat heavier, and not on a high-gloss coated stock, but a "flat" finish). These posters were printed a few at a time, and they retailed for $325 each, and I believe that the company is no longer creating new ones, although they still have a small stock of some or all of the ones they already created. If you have never seen one of these in person, you might think they are simply "a reproduction", but they really look incredible in person (I absolutely am not exaggerating about this!). Most of us could never hope to have the original of this poster (which sells for hundreds of thousands of dollars!), and this recreation is certainly an attractive and affordable alternative! IMPORTANT! Note that the S2 Art Group also has a lower quality 24" x 36" series of recreations that retail for $49 each, but are NOT stone lithographs. The recreation offered here is the 27" x 41" size with ultra high quality printing. UPDATE! In 2009, an unscrupulous individual took a S2 recreation of a "Dracula" one-sheet, and had it somewhat "aged", and then had a restorer linenback the poster (restoring the defects they had just added, and adding slight changes to make it indistinguishable from the original!), and the resulting poster looked so wonderful that a major auction house put it on the cover of their catalog as a 1931 original, AND a leading restorer "certified" the doctored poster as a 1931 original! THAT'S HOW WONDERFUL THE QUALITY OF THESE POSTERS IS! Note that, while this poster can technically be rolled, we intend to send it to the high bidder in a flat package, because we fear that rolling it (especially rolling it too tightly) could lessen its condition (but we will roll it if the new owner insists, and if they accept the responsibility for doing so).

Condition: fine. The poster has been carefully handled and stored since it was created, and is in wonderful condition!
