Auction History Result y174 ADVENTURES OF DON JUAN linen Danish movie poster '49 Errol Flynn Date Sold 9/14/2004Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Danish Movie Poster (measures 23" x 32") (Learn More) Adventures of Don Juan (also released as "The New Adventures of Don Juan"), the 1949 Vincent Sherman swashbuckler romantic adventure thriller ("He made history when he made love!"; "Warner Bros. unfolds a new screen era in breathless adventure!"; "Warner Bros. open a new screen era in splendor!"; note that IMDB lists William Faulkner as an uncredited writer for this movie) starring Errol Flynn (in the title role as Don Juan), Viveca Lindfors (as Queen Margaret), Robert Douglas, Alan Hale Sr., Romney Brent, Ann Rutherford, Raymond Burr (early in his career, and 16th billed!), and Jerry Austin (a "little person" who had a tiny role in "Freaks" in 1932, and then made four small movie appearances in the late 1940s). Note that Raymond Burr had appeared in movies a couple of years before this, but always had minor roles, usually playing the "heavy". It would be many years before he would get leading roles (remember him as the killer in "Rear Window"?), but his big break did not come until 1957 when he became TV's "Perry Mason"!

Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the restorer did a good job, but you can see signs of the restoration from inches away (since most people look at posters framed on a wall from at least a few feet away, we don't feel this is a defect, but we feel it should be noted). OR you can't see the restoration because it was so well done, but the poster had fairly significant defects. OR no restoration was performed, but the defects are not major, and restoration could be done to the poster without re-backing it. See below for its pre-restoration defects (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had a small hole at the crossfold, rough creases across the horizontal fold, and they were slightly touched up, but you can still see signs of the restoration. There is a censor stamp in the top left, a pinhole in each corner, and smudges in the yellow background areas. The person who linenbacked the poster just mounted the poster and left the defects alone. If they bother the new owner of the poster, a talented restorer could touch them up without rebacking the poster. Learn More about condition grades
