Auction History Result 7g015 SUTTER'S GOLD Danish '36 Edward Arnold & Binnie Barnes in the California Gold Rush! Date Sold 9/22/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Danish Movie Poster (measures approximately 24" x 33") (Learn More) Sutter's Gold, the 1936 James Cruze California gold rush mining adventure melodrama ("The screen's thundering drama of men mad with the greed for gold!"; "The thundering drama of gold rush days!"; "Based on Blaise Cendrar's Novel"; a highly fictionalized biography of the man who found gold on his ranch, which led to the famous 1849 California gold rush!) starring Edward Arnold (in the title role as John Sutter), Lee Tracy, Binnie Barnes, Katharine Alexander, Montague Love, Addison Richards, John Miljan, Harry Carey Sr., Bryant Washburn, Robert Warwick, Gaston Glass, Russell Hopton, William Janney (billed as "W.M. Janney"), Sidney Bracy, and Nan Gray. Note that there is an asterisk after Edward Arnold's name in the credits, which leads to an explanation that he is in the movie "by arrangement with B.P. Schulberg". It had been bought by Universal in the 1920s for Sergei Eisenstein (who finished a treatment for the film), but it was never made. William Faulkner also did a treatment of the story for Howard Hawks in 1934 but it never progressed further. Universal surely later wished they had forgotten all about it, because their 1936 movie cost $2,000,000 to make, 20 times the average Universal movie of the time, and did terribly at the box office. Also note that at the same time this movie was made, there was a German version released, called "Der kaiser von Kalifornien", which altered the story somewhat. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good to fine. The poster was never folded. There are creases, tears, and tiny areas of paper loss in the left blank border and a few tiny tears in the right border. There is brown water staining in the top of the left blank border. There is a stamp in the top left from the Danish censor. Other than the above, the poster is in pretty nice condition, and after a simple linenbacking, it will look fantastic, and it will require little paint restoration (some people choose to restore away censor stamps, but others choose to leave them, because they are part of the history of the poster).
