An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Upper World, the 1934 Roy Del Ruth romantic love triangle melodrama ("From the story by Ben Hecht"; about rich man who has an uncaring wife, and he starts an affair with a common beautiful young girl; the girl's boyfriend tries to get her to blackmail the rich man, and they end up both dead, with the rich man shooting the boyfriend who has shot his girlfriend, and the rich man is able to make it appear like a murder-suicide, but eventually, he is discovered to have been involved, and he is put on trial for murder, but he is acquitted, and he returns to his wife and son) starring Warren William, Mary Astor, Ginger Rogers, Andy Devine, Sidney Toler, and Dickie Moore. Note that Mary Astor played the rich man's wife and Ginger Rogers played his girlfriend. The movie "borrows" very heavily from Cynara, made just two years earlier with Ronald Colman and Kay Francis in the lead roles! Also, note that IMDB claims the title is the single word "Upperworld", but everything that we have seen has it as two words. 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 this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: fair to good. There are areas of paper loss scattered in various areas throughout (much more so in the lower edge). There is discoloration scattered throughout the poster from exposure to moisture. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid.
