An Undated (probably 1930s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked French One-Panel Movie Poster (measures approximately 47" x 63") (Learn More) Flesh and the Devil, the 1926 Clarence Brown silent romantic love triangle melodrama ("From the novel The Undying Past by Hermann Sudermann"; about a man who becomes obsessed with a woman after just catching a glimpse of her; he doesn't see her for years and when he does, he enrages her husband, who challenges him to a duel, and he kills the husband, and is sent away; while he is gone, his best friend watches after the widow, and when he returns, he discovers his best friend has married her; he still can't resist her, and his friend catches him with his wife, and they agree to have a duel, but while they are about to shoot, they realize the absurdity of it, and throw down their guns and embrace, but the wife, who was coming to stop them, dies on the way!) starring John Gilbert, Greta Garbo, Lars Hanson, Barbara Kent, and William Orlamond. Note that it seems amazing in the present day to realize that John Gilbert was billed above the title in this movie and that Greta Garbo received much inferior second billing (equal to that of third billed Lars Hanson), but of course, this was Greta Garbo's first year in the U.S., and her third American movie, and John Gilbert was a major established star, so he fully deserved his much better billing!

Important Added Info: Note that this French one-panel measures approximately 47" x 63" and is linenbacked. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had small paper loss at the crossfolds and many tiny tears, creases, and a few small areas of paper loss on some foldlines. There were tears, creases, tiny areas of paper loss, and smudges around the edges of the poster. The entire poster had darkened slightly, but it is most noticeable in the blank borders. The poster was well backed, and the restoration is really only noticeable from a close distance. From any distance away, the poster looks quite nice! Learn More about condition grades
