A 1972 Re-release Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More)

City Lights, the classic 1931 Charlie Chaplin silent romantic comedy melodrama (written and directed by Charles Chaplin; Chaplin is a Tramp who befriends a blind flower seller, and he loves her, but is afraid she can't return his love; the movie includes a memorable boxing scene, and a wonderful final scene where the girl is cured of her blindness) starring Charles Chaplin, Virginia Cherrill, Florence Lee, Harry Myers, Al Ernest Garcia, and Hank Mann. Note that Charlie Chaplin stood alone against the coming of sound to movies, and he made this movie as a silent movie, although it had a soundtrack which included the song "Smile", which Chaplin himself wrote. He would release another silent movie, "Modern Times", in 1936, and then finally agreed to make sound pictures!

Important Added Info:

NOTE: In this case, the #2 in the title of this sale is not the actual style of the one-sheet (whenever we know the style of a one-sheet we list it for those of you who know which style you are looking for). In this case, the posters from this particular movie were not marked, but because we are selling more than one poster from this movie this week as separate eBay sales, we needed to differentiate between the sales, and we did so by marking them "#1, #2, etc.

Condition: very good. poster has darkened slightly along the foldlines and around the edges; 3/4" of separation at the top crossfold as well as minor separation at the middle and bottom crossfolds; minor creases, smudges, and scuffs throughout the poster (more so along the foldlines)
