A Linenbacked Italian Special Poster (measures 27 3/4" x 39 1/4" [70 x 100 cm]) (Learn More) Paul Muni was a noted Jewish stage and film actor (born in Austria-Hungary, in what is now known as Ukraine) from the 1920s to the 1960s. Some of his movies include: Valiant (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Scarface, I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), The Good Earth, Black Fury (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), The Life Of Emile Zola (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Angle on My Shoulder, The Story Of Louis Pasteur (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), and Juarez. He became disenchanted with Hollywood, and pretty much left in the early 1940s to perform on the Broadway stage, where he originated the lead role in "Inherit the Wind". He returned to the screen for one last triumph in The Last Angry Man (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film). He passed away in 1967 at the age of 71. Artist: Luigi Martinati Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare pre-World War II Italian poster, which we have never auctioned before! Virtually no Italian posters survive from before, during, or right after World War II (mostly only pre-war heavy stock lobby cards, and even those are rare). Apparently there were many paper shortages in Italy during World War II, resulting in the destruction of almost all pre-World War II posters! What IS linenbacking?
