Date Sold 12/5/2013Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Belgian Movie Poster (measures 23 1/4" x 30" [59 x 76 cm]) (Learn More) I Dream Too Much, the 1935 John Cromwell romantic musical comedy ("Open the floodgates of your heart for a new romantic thrill!... Lily Pons!... Brilliant, beautiful, irresistible... As the girl who fought her way from the tinsel of the night clubs to the top-most rungs of fame!"; "Music by Jerome Kern, Composer of 'Roberta'"; the old story of a struggling young composer who meets a pretty singer and they impulsively marry; but he can't get work, and she becomes a major singing star, which causes much friction between them) starring Lily Pons, Henry Fonda (second billed in his third movie role!), Eric Blore, Osgood Perkins, Lucien Littlefield, Lucille Ball, Mischa Auer, and Scotty Beckett. Note that Lily Pons was a real life opera star who was drafted into movies after the great success of Jeanette MacDonald, and for her first one, she was given this movie, with music by Jerome Kern, who had composed the music for the hit movie "Roberta" the year before. But she only appeared in three movies between 1935 and 1937, and then returned to opera singing. Also note that Henry Fonda had achieved success on Broadway from 1932 to 1934, and in 1935, he starred in THREE movies (his first three!), surely one of the most remarkable debuts of any movie actor, and he certainly proved that he deserved it, going onto a very long and distinguished career!

Prior to World War II, Belgian posters were much larger than the ones from after the war, and they are extremely rare (because during WWII, there was a massive paper shortage in Belgium, and they took virtually every poster and map, and printed new posters on the backs of them!). Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 23 1/4" x 30" [59 x 76 cm]. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had a small blank top area that was partially trimmed off. It had a second partial horizontal fold 1" above the regular one, with minor wear on the foldlines and pinholes in the corners. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
