An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style A Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) All About Eve, the classic 1950 Joseph L. Mankiewicz (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) New York City Broadway stage acting romantic love triangle melodrama ("It's all about women... and their men!"; produced by Darryl F. Zanuck; about a New York stage actress who gets a protege who secretly schemes to take her place, both on stage and off; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Bette Davis (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; as Margo Channing), Anne Baxter (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; in the title role as Eve Harrington), George Sanders (winner of the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as Addison DeWitt), Celeste Holm (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Gary Merrill, Hugh Marlowe, Thelma Ritter (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Marilyn Monroe, Gregory Ratoff, Barbara Bates, and Walter Hampton. Note that Marilyn Monroe had a small role in this movie, early in her career, but as usual, she was noticed, and she appears on several of the posters! 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 an extremely rare poster! We have only auctioned one other example in all our years of auctioning. Also note that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: fair to good. The poster was never folded. It has darkened somewhat. It has paper loss down most of the bottom two-thirds of the right blank border, but only blank white paper is affected. It had a 2" tear in the lower right blank border that extended into the white background, and someone put tape on the back. There are some other small tears around the edges of the poster, with many creases and two pinholes at top center. There are some smudges and stains scattered throughout the white background areas. There are creases in the top of the image, one of which extends into Monroe's forehead and one extends into Davis' hair and forehead, and there is a scuff mark in her cheek. Obviously, this very rare poster can be restored (and because many of its defects are in the borders and in the white background, it is an excellent candidate for restoration), but please look closely at our super-sized image and consider the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
