An Original 1949 Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36") (Learn More)

Saraband for Dead Lovers (released in the U.S. in 1949 as "Saraband"), the 1948 Basil Dearden & Michael Relph English Ealing romantic love triangle historical biographical melodrama ("A flaming spectacle of adventure and romance!"; "Aflame with Excitement..."; "Riotous with Romance..."; "Thrilling in Color!"; "The fiery romance that rocked royalty!"; "Ealing Studios presents their first film in Technicolor"; "A romance that rocked the thrones of kings"; "A royal romance"; "From the novel by Helen Simpson"; set three centuries ago, during the time when several families were vying to be the lead royal family in England, and there is an arranged marriage intended to unite two families, but the would-be bride falls in love with another man, which leads to the tragedy implied by the title) starring Stewart Granger, Francoise Rosay, Joan Greenwood, Flora Robson, Frederick Valk, Anthony Quayle, Michael Gough, and Christopher Lee (very young in this role!). Note that this movie is very highly regarded by almost all critics and those who have seen it, but it does not have the "following" that many other classic British films of this time period have, and that is unfortunate, because it is well worth seeing!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been machine folded! Most insert posters were folded twice horizontally right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded example of most insert posters, especially from before 1970!

Condition: good. There is some uneven discoloration throughout and there are tiny dot stains scattered throughout the credits and background area across the bottom of the poster. There is a piece of brown tape across the back of the top and bottom edge of the poster and there are pin holes and a few 1" and smaller tears around the edges of the poster. There is a small area of writing in the lower right corner of the poster indicating that this insert was re-used for a re-release in 1954 but please bid knowing that this poster is from the first release in 1949. Fortunately, it seems likely that the poster's discoloration could easily be removed through chemical means during the restoration process and the poster will display nicely with very little paint restoration needed!
