Auction History Result 1h0257 COUNSELLOR AT LAW 1sh 1933 art of John Barrymore, Bebe Daniels, Doris Kenyon, ultra rare! Date Sold 12/26/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Counsellor-at-Law, the classic 1933 William Wyler New York City courtroom Jewish lawyer legal melodrama ("John Barrymore in the sensational stage success by Elmer Rice."; about a very hectic day in the life of a poor Jewish man who becomes a lawyer and gets a top Park Avenue law practice; he is almost disbarred, and he discovers his wife is having an affair, but things improve greatly at the climax!) starring John Barrymore (as George Simon), Bebe Daniels (as Rexy, Barrymore's secretary who is in love with him from afar), Doris Kenyon, Onslow Stevens, Isabel Jewell, Melvyn Douglas, Mayo Methot, Thelma Todd, Vincent Sherman (as the anarchist who doesn't want Barrymore to defend him), "and a great cast". Note that the original Broadway play was a major success that starred Paul Muni. However, Hollywood did not want to make the movie with him, because he was not, to their mind, a big enough star, so they went with Barrymore instead, which is ironic, since Muni was Jewish, as the character was, and Barrymore, of course, was not. 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 first release movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a single lobby card, a set of lobby cards (22 years ago), three stills, and a window card from this movie (and NO other first release movie paper of any kind) until we received this one-sheet! Condition: good to very good. The poster has 5" of separation and tiny paper loss in the bottom of the vertical fold. It has 1" of separation at each crossfold with small paper loss at the middle crossfold. It has tiny pinholes around the edges and some creases scattered in the poster. Other than the above the poster has survived well, and we would hope that the new owner of this incredibly rare poster gives it to the best restorer, because after linenbacking it will display wonderfully, and require little paint restoration anywhere on the poster!
