Auction History Result 5p0801 ARSENE LUPIN linen pre-war Belgian 1933 art of John & Lionel Barrymore, Mona Lisa, ultra rare! Date Sold 12/19/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1933 (from the first release of this movie in Belgium) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Belgian Movie Poster (measures 24" x 33 1/2" [61 x 85 cm]) (Learn More) Arsene Lupin, the classic 1932 Jack Conway France master thief crime thriller (based on the novel by Maurice Leblanc) starring John Barrymore (in the title role as Arsene Lupin), Lionel Barrymore (in one of their few movies together), Karen Morley, John Miljan, and Tully Marshall. One of the great strengths of the movie is the interactions between the master thief and the detective who wants so badly to catch him, and it is made even greater by the fact that they are played by real life brothers! Note that Arsene Lupin is one of the two most legendary French crime figures, the other being Fantomas. Arsene Lupin was introduced in 1905 and Fantomas in 1911. Unlike Fantomas, who would do anything to get what he wanted, including murder, Arsene Lupin was a "gentleman thief", who did not hurt the people he robbed, and was kind of a "Robin Hood"! There have been a number of different Arsene Lupin movies over the years. 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 we have never before auctioned this Belgian poster! Also note that this is a rare "pre-War" Belgian poster. Prior to World War II, Belgian posters were much larger than the ones from after the war, and they are extremely rare (because during WWII, there was a massive paper shortage in Belgium, and they took virtually every poster and map, and printed new posters on the backs of them!).

The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and a few tiny bits of paper loss on parts of the folds. It had small separation at the ends of the horizontal folds in the blank borders. The theater that showed this poster glued a printed snipe to the top blank area. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The person who backed the poster left the printed snipe on the top area, and poster displays well. Learn More about condition grades
