Madame X, the 1937 Sam Wood courtroom legal lawyer mother son family relationship romantic murder mystery crime melodrama ("The world knew her only as Madame X"; "The Greatest Performance of the World's Most Heart-Stabbing Story!"; "Based on the play La Femme X by Alexandre Bisson"; "'I made one mistake'"; about a woman who is thrown out of her own home by her jealous husband, and he gets custody of their son, and she sinks lower and lower, and her now grown son does not know what she has become, and she kills a man who threatens to reveal who she is to her son, and her son, now a lawyer, becomes her defense attorney, never knowing he is defending his own mother) starring Gladys George, John Beal, Warren William, Reginald Owen, William Henry, and Henry Daniell. Note that this classic tearjerker is one of the most frequently remade movies ever! It was first in a feature film in 1916 (as "Madam X"), and was then remade in 1920, 1929, 1937, 1939, 1948, 1954, and 1966, and there was even a TV movie version in 1981!

Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this poster! Not only that, but we have only ever auctioned three one-sheets, a scene card, and a title card from this 1937 version of this classic story, so ALL first release movie paper from this movie is very rare.

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases, tears, and paper loss on many parts of some folds. The poster also had light staining above the "Mad" of "Madame" in the title, and some other faint stains scattered around the edges. There were some tears and smudges scattered throughout the poster. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of many of the above defects (some were completely left alone) and the restoration of the above defects. In spite of the poster's many defects, it still displays fairly well, and certainly, one could choose to have additional restoration performed. But bear the poster's many defects in mind, and look at our super-sized image before bidding on this incredibly rare poster.
