Auction History Result 6h0327 OLD SPANISH CUSTOM linen 3sh 1935 art of Buster Keaton playing bass serenading woman, rare! Date Sold 4/14/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 cm]) (Learn More) The Invader (released in the U.S. as "An Old Spanish Custom"), the 1936 Adrian Brunel English romantic Spain adventure comedy ("A Melbert Special"; "The world's greatest fun-maker in his funniest feature comedy!"; about an inept rich man who sails to Spain with his beautiful mistress, and she gets him entangled in all sorts of dangerous situations) starring Buster Keaton ("in his funniest feature comedy"), Lupita Tovar, Hilda Moreno, ("and a great cast") Lyn Harding, and Esme Percy. Note that this movie was produced by Sam Spiegel, and he hired cinematographer Eugen Schufftan, who had worked with Pabst and other expressionistic European directors, and he DID add to the quality of this movie! Also note that Buster Keaton remade this movie as a short, "Pest from the West", three years later when he was hired by Columbia. 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 first release large posters from this movie are extremely rare. We have only previously auctioned two examples of this three-sheet, and one of those two examples has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still only one of two examples we have ever auctioned (and we have also never auctioned a six-sheet)! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny creases, tiny tears, and tiny bits of some of the folds, more so in the bottom of the poster, but a little bit in other areas. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was mounted on linen and very little restoration was performed. If I owned this extremely rare poster, I would surely have a talented restorer perform the needed added restoration, most likely without re-backing the poster, and afterwards, it will display really well, but bear this in mind before bidding on this poster.
