Auction History Result 3a017 WIFE VERSUS SECRETARY 40x60 '36 full-length image of Clark Gable, Jean Harlow & Myrna Loy! Date Sold 12/11/2008 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Melloy Bros. Forty by Sixty Movie Poster (40x60; measures 40" x 60") (Learn More) Wife Vs. Secretary, the 1936 Clarence Brown romantic love misunderstanding comedy (about a happily married couple; the husband has a beautiful secretary, and the wife misunderstands something that happens and she thinks that her husband might be having an affair) starring Clark Gable, Jean Harlow (in the title role as the secretary, Helen Wilson), Myrna Loy (in the title role as the wife, Linda Stanhope), May Robson, George Barbier, James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart; in his fourth movie role!), Hobart Cavanaugh, and John Qualen. Note that Jean Harlow plays Clark Gable's secretary, and in the movie, he is madly in love with wife Myrna Loy, and it is only a misunderstanding that causes Loy to think there is something between Gable and Harlow, and the entire movie is very innocent. Note too that Harlow's boyfriend is played by an extremely young Jimmy Stewart! 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 this is one of the special 40x60 posters that were created by the Meloy Bros. Inc company of Shelbyville, Indiana in 1935 and 1936! This company created special 40x60 posters that were distributed to theaters in the Midwest, and are NOT like 40x60 posters that were created by the studios at that time. VERY IMPORTANT! CLICK THIS LINK TO READ FULL INFORMATION ABOUT THESE SPECIAL POSTERS (do not bid on this poster until you have read the information on the linked page). Condition: good to very good. There is surface paper loss and tiny paper loss around the edges of the poster (more so in the corners), and the poster is "lifting" from the board in the corners. There are creases and scuffs scattered throughout the poster, more so in the solid background areas, but there ARE very few in the stars' faces (study our super-sized image to see exactly what they are, but they are not very distracting). There are also some other scuffs and smudges throughout the image and some dents and tiny areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster (please study our super-sized image to clearly see the above described defects). Certainly, a talented restorer could perform restoration to this poster, after which the defects would not be very noticeable at all. Learn More about condition grades
