An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Swedish Movie Poster (measures 27 3/4" x 39 1/4" [70 x 100 cm]) (Learn More) Man of Two Worlds, the 1934 J. Walter Ruben romantic culture clash melodrama ("From a Novel by Ainsworth Morgan"; about a simple Eskimo taken from his home by explorers because he needs an operation and once he heals, he interacts with "modern civilization", and he also falls in love the pretty daughter of one of the explorers) starring Francis Lederer ("The producers who discovered and brought Katherine Hepburn to triumphant stardom confidently offer the screen debut of a blazing new star!"), Elissa Landi, Henry Stephenson, J. Farrell MacDonald, and Walter Byron. Note that after the huge success of "Nanook of the North", Hollywood tried to make some movies about Eskimos, but in 1934, a romance between a white woman and an Eskimo was considered "interracial", so of course, it was doomed to failure. Also note that this movie was the forerunner of similar popular movies, including "Tarzan's New York Adventure" and "Crocodile Dundee", where primitive men come to a big city and show how superior their "simple values" are! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Eric Rohman Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was never folded. It had three circular stains in the right side of Landi's head and hair, and some tears and tiny paper loss in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
