An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Style A Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Make Way for Tomorrow, the classic 1937 Leo McCarey family relationship Great Depression melodrama ("A human drama of real love!"; "They want to live their own lives...! Can you blame them?"; "The world had passed them by!"; about an elderly couple in the Depression who through no fault of their own lose their pension, and they turn to their adult children to help them out, but the children are too busy with their lives to do much to help their parents) starring Victor Moore, Beulah Bondi, Fay Bainter, Thomas Mitchell, Porter Hall, Barbara Read, Louise Beavers, and Elisabeth Risdon. This is really a wonderful movie, and it seems extremely likely that the great Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu was strongly influenced by this movie. Legend has it that when director Leo McCarey was given the Best Director award for The Awful Truth, he commented "I was given it for the wrong movie", because he felt that Make Way For Tomorrow was his best work! If you have not seen this movie, and if you like "sentimental" movies, this is well worth seeing! 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 ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a single one-sheet, a few lobby cards, and two stills from this movie until we received this half-sheet! Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we know it would definitely lessen its condition, so we will only send it in a very large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage). What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had paper loss at the crossfold, with creases, tiny tears, and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of both folds. It had some smudges and tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
