Lee Great Depression Wall Street Stock Market high finance romantic love triangle melodrama ("A Paramount all talking picture"; a wild story of a Stock Market trader who corners the market in copper and makes a fortune, becoming known as "The Wolf of Wall Street", and then gets out at the top, selling short, and he becomes rich, but many people are ruined by his actions; one of them is the fiance of his maid, and she is furious, and tells him that his wife has been cheating on him with his partner, and he decides to get revenge by completely bankrupting his firm; even though it means that he himself is ruined, it also means his partner and his wife have nothing, and he walks out on both of them!) starring George Bancroft (in the title role as "The Wolf"), Olga Baclanova (billed as "Baclanova"), Nancy Carroll, Paul Lukas, and Arthur Rankin. Note that this had been thought to be a "lost" film (which means that no complete surviving copies are thought to exist), but a copy was found and is now touring in exhibitions. 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 movie was released at the time when studios were rapidly making the transition to sound, and Paramount released both sound and silent versions of their top releases. For each of those movies, they issued a set of posters for the sound release (marked "SOUND" at the bottom left), and an entirely different set of posters for the silent release (marked "SILENT" at bottom left). The poster offered here is from the sound release of this movie. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good.

Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed. The person who did the backing recreated the top. We don't know if they had a reference to create the top section, or if they just "guessed at it". While one would certainly prefer to find a better example of this poster, it is extremely likely that no other example of it exists, and it seems pretty amazing to me that it exists at all!
