Auction History Result m194 SON OF DR JEKYLL three-sheet movie poster '51 Louis Hayward, horror! Date Sold 10/11/2005Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Three-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 41" x 81") (Learn More) The Son of Doctor Jekyll, the 1951 Seymour Friedman horror thriller ("She Married a Monster"; "Heritage of horror!"; "Man or monster--he was still her mate!"; about the son of the notorious Dr. Henry Jekyll who is determined to prove that his father's reputation has been unjustly deserved) starring Louis Hayward (in the title role as Edward Jekyll, the son of Dr. Jekyll!), Jody Lawrance, Alexander Knox, Lester Matthews, and Gavin Muir 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 the collector who owned this three-sheet (and five others that we are selling as separate items this week on eBay) taped or glued the two sections of the poster together, and put tape on several of the seams (for reinforcement) and then rolled the poster and stored it in a tube. He would take one of the posters and display it on his wall, and then occasionally take that one down, replace it in the tube, and display a different one (this method of displaying the posters was certainly inexpensive, and saved him the cost of a frame!). The downside to this is that the posters can no longer be folded, and in some cases the tape (or glue) has bled through to the front to some degree. For each of these six posters, we have described the amount of tape (or glue) on the reverse, and the effect it has had on the front. In all six cases, it would be an easy matter for any talented restorer to remove the tape (and/or glue) from the back and mount the poster on linen. After proper linenbacking and restoration of any defects, the poster would look wonderful! But please do not bid on this poster (or the other five similar three-sheets) unless you have read the above and understand it. Of course, we will need to send this poster in a tube, as it cannot be folded. Condition: very good. The two sections of the poster were glued together. There were areas of paper loss at several crossfolds, and wide white paper wide was placed on the back of those crossfolds, and the owner colored in the front of the paper tape to blend in with the surrounding paper at the crossfold where there was paper loss. There was a 1" x 2" semi-circular area of paper loss in the lower right blank border, and there is wide paper tape on the back of this area, but that was not colored. There are many creases along most foldlines, and some tiny tears on some parts of the vertical foldlines, and the poster has some added creases from having them rolled and unrolled.
