Date Sold 4/16/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 cm]) (Learn More) It Happened One Night, the classic 1934 Frank Capra (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) runaway-heiress-with-undercover-reporter-who-are-complete-opposites-but-fall-in-love-anyway romantic screwball comedy ("Together for the first time!"; "From the Cosmopolitan Magazine story by Samuel Hopkins Adams"; "Screenplay by Robert Riskin"; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Clark Gable (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Claudette Colbert (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Walter Connolly, Roscoe Karns, Alan Hale Sr., Ward Bond, and Jameson Thomas. Note that this is a wonderful movie that contains many memorable scenes (perhaps most notably when Gable "instructs" Colbert on how to hitchhike), but it is also memorable for the scene where Gable reveals that he was not wearing an undershirt, which caused undershirt sales to plunge nationwide, and they never recovered!

Important Added Info: Note that it became quite common in the 1960s and later to have "reviews" style posters that were solely filled with reviews about a very popular movie. These certainly served an important purpose when they were displayed outside a theater, because they let the potential customers know the movie had received rave reviews. Columbia Pictures was rightfully overjoyed over the critical response to "It Happened One Night" in 1934, and they rushed out this "reviews" three-sheet, plastered with all the wonderful things said about the movie with a large "CRITICS RAVE" at the top. Obviously, one would greatly prefer to own the "regular" three-sheet from this movie, but this IS still a 1934 three-sheet from this most classic movie, and it is likely the only affordable way many collectors could possibly purchase a 1934 poster from this movie! Not only is this the only example of this poster I have ever seen, but it might well be the only surviving 1930s "reviews" style three-sheet from any movie! What IS linenbacking?
