The Prisoner of Zenda"; "Based on Edward Rose's dramatization of Anthony Hope's novel"; produced by David O. Selznick; about the king of a mythical country who is kidnapped by his half-brother, but a visiting nobleman who is an exact duplicate of the king arrives, and he is convinced to take the place of the king, and that is complicated by the king's love falling for the imposter!) starring Ronald Colman, Madeleine Carroll, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Mary Astor, C. Aubrey Smith, David Niven, and Raymond Massey 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 is a rare "pre-War" Belgian poster. 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 was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. There is an approximately 6" tear in the middle of the left edge of the poster and there are some smaller tears and areas of tattering and foldline separation along the foldlines and around the edges of the poster with most repaired with conservation tape from the back. There is a tiny tack area of circular paper loss in the background at lower right. There are smudges in the background at upper left extending into Colman's hair and there are some creases scattered throughout the poster. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition, especially considering its age and origin, and if one chose to have it restored it would look great with little paint restoration needed!
