Date Sold 6/16/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) Charlie Chan's Greatest Case, the 1933 Hamilton MacFadden Asian detective crime mystery thriller ("From a story by Earl Derr Biggers") starring Warner Oland (in the title role as Charlie Chan), Heather Angel, John Warburton, Virginia Cherrill, Walter Byron, Frances Chan (as "Youngest Chan Daughter"), and Alan, David, Frank Dong (all billed as "Chan Son"), and Claude King. Note that the very first Charlie Chan movie was "House Without a Key" in 1925, with George Kuwa as Chan. In 1927, "The Chinese Parrot" (directed by Paul Leni) starred Sojin Kamiyama as Chan. In 1929 came the third movie, "Behind That Curtain", starring E.L. Park as Charlie Chan. 1931 brought "Charlie Chan Carries On", starring Warner Oland in the first of many movies with him as the Asian detective, and he was later replaced by Sidney Toler and then Roland Winters (there would ultimately be 47 Charlie Chan movies!). Of course, Charlie Chan is one of the most memorable literary creations ever, from author Earl Derr Biggers, but because politically correct-minded people have viewed the character as outdated, the movies are rarely shown, which is a shame!

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 almost certainly damage it, so we will only send it in a large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage). What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster was never folded. There were many creases, smudges, and stains scattered throughout, and there were tears and areas of paper loss in the borders. There was an area of paper loss in the upper left border that extended into Oland's ear and temple, and the edge of his eyelid. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to paperbacking. Given its many defects, the poster was pretty well backed, but it has had a lot of paint restoration in the background areas and the credits, and it has a "restored" look to it.
