Date Sold 11/22/2022Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style A Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 cm]) (Learn More) The Accusing Finger, the 1936 James P. Hogan murder crime film noir (about a lawyer who sends an innocent man to jail for a murder he did not commit, and then the lawyer's wife is murdered, and he is the number one suspect, even though he is also innocent!) starring Marsha Hunt, Robert Cummings (Bob Cummings), Paul Kelly, Kent Taylor, Harry Carey Sr., and Bernadene Hayes. Note that this film was made in Bob Cummings' second year of movies (and he looked even younger than he did in his movies just a few years later!), and somehow he got second billing, even though he is not pictured on any of the posters! 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 ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a pressbook, two stills, and a glass slide from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this three-sheet! Note that this is one of an amazing find of seven similar three-sheets that were found in the home of a man who worked at a movie theater in the mid 1930s, and he took these posters home with him and they sat undisturbed in his house ever since! All of these three-sheets are incredibly rare. We are also auctioning four other three-sheets that also came from this amazing find, in four separate auctions, but those four were folded very differently, and they measure approximately 21" x 21" when folded, and three of the four of those are kraftbacked, but just like the seven that were folded the other way, they are also incredibly rare. This may be your only opportunity to obtain this poster (or any of the other three-sheets, which are being auctioned in separate auctions). Also note that this poster was folded oddly, and it now measures approximately 11" x 20", so it will need to be sent in a larger than normal flat package that measures approximately 13" x 22", so bear this in mind before bidding. Also note that this three-sheet was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Also note that the theater that used this poster glued the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces). Condition: good to very good. The theater that used this poster glued the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces). There are many creases along parts of the folds, with some scattered in the image. There are pinholes, creases, and small tears around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
