An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) The Thin Man, the classic 1934 W.S. Van Dyke (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) detective crime mystery romantic comedy melodrama ("Dashiell Hammet's Master Mystery Novel!"; "Based on the mystery novel by Dashiell Hammett"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; it was so successful that it spawned a series of sequels with "Thin Man" in their titles, even though the actual "thin man" from the first movie was the man who was killed!) starring William Powell (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; as the alcoholic ex-crook detective Nick Charles), Myrna Loy (as Nick's rich socialite wife Nora Charles, who helped solve crimes), Maureen O'Sullivan, Nat Pendleton, Minna Gombell, Asta (their dog, who became very popular!), Edward Brophy, Edward Ellis (as Clyde Wynant, the actual "thin man"!), and Henry Wadsworth NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good to fine. The poster had creases along the foldlines and separation and a few tiny tears along the folds. There were pinholes in the corners, tiny paper loss at the top and bottom ends of the vertical foldline and a couple of small tears in the left of the bottom border. A really talented restorer paperbacked this poster! They only did restoration to the above defects, and you can see signs of the restoration from inches away, but from any distance, the poster looks wonderful, and there is no restoration on the poster, except on the foldlines and in the blank borders (there is some new paper and some paint on the blank borders, but it is done so expertly, that I doubt many collectors could tell). I would think absolutely every collector would be thrilled to display this wonderful poster on their wall! Learn More about condition grades
