Date Sold 10/21/2010Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 21 1/2" [36 x 55 cm]) (Learn More) Daddy Long Legs, the 1931 Alfred Santell romantic comedy ("From play by Jean Webster"; about a middle aged millionaire who meets an 18 year old girl in an orphanage, and he is in love with her, but restrains himself and sends her to college, but after several years, they fall in love) starring Janet Gaynor, Warner Baxter, Una Merkel, John Arledge, Claude Gillingwater, and Effie Ellsler. Note that this movie was based on a play and novel by Jean Webster from 1912. It was made into a silent movie in 1919 starring Mary Pickford, and was remade as this sound film, and then was significantly altered so that Shirley Temple could play the lead in "Curly Top" in 1935, and then was remade with Fred Astaire and Leslie Caron in 1955. Obviously, it is extremely unlikely that this plot will ever be used again, because in today's world, a story about a middle aged man falling in love with an 18 year old that he "adopts" is very inappropriate!

Important Added Info: Note that this poster comes from a collection that was consigned to us of window cards, inserts, and half-sheets, ALL of which are in MUCH lesser condition (as is immediately evident from looking at the images of these posters). But many of these posters are from early 1930s titles where it is next-to-impossible to find a better condition example of these posters!

Also, know that normally we allow returns of any item, but because all of these items are in MUCH lesser condition, we will NOT accept returns of this item, so bear that in mind as well before placing a bid.
