An Original Vintage Unfolded English Movie Poster (measures 11 1/2" x 15 1/2" [29 x 39 cm]) (Learn More) Doctor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the 1931 Rouben Mamoulian double-personality fantasy monster horror thriller ("Based on the novel by Robert Louis Stevenson") starring Fredric March (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; in both title roles; he tied with Wallace Beery who won for The Champ), Miriam Hopkins, Rose Hobart, Holmes Herbert, Edgar Norton, and Halliwell Hobbes. Note that this movie premiered in New York City on New Year's Eve 1931, and then went into general release in the U.S. in 1932. So except for that one night, it is a 1932 movie, but because it is always identified as being from 1931, we also identify it that way! That also helps explain why there is movie paper dated 1933. It was a giant hit, and the movie was surely still in its first release into 1933, and more paper was printed as it was needed. 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 English poster (which has been slightly trimmed and now measures 11 1/2" x 15 1/2" [29 x 39 cm]) is somewhat of a mystery. Our consignor purchased it in England with a collection of English stills and lobby cards. It is on a heavier weight paper, similar to that of window cards, but it measures larger than a lobby card. Perhaps it could have been a jumbo lobby card, but we have not seen those from England before. It is printed on a "pebbled" paper, and would seem to surely be from 1931. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.. Condition: good to very good. The item was slightly trimmed, but we don't know from what size. Of course, it can be displayed on the new owner's wall and it will look great! Learn More about condition grades
