Date Sold 5/12/2015Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Australian Daybill Movie Poster (db; measures 14 1/2" x 40" [37 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Of Human Bondage, the classic 1934 John Cromwell man-obsessed-with-trashy-woman-who-treats-him-as-badly-as-anyone-has-ever-been-treated romantic melodrama ("The love that lifted a man to paradise.. and hurled him back to earth [sic] again!"; "From the novel by W. Somerset Maugham"; "W. Somerset Maugham's world famous novel") starring Leslie Howard (as Philip Carey), Bette Davis (note that because Bette Davis was a Warner Bros star, and because she was "loaned" to RKO to make the movie, Warner executives saw to it that she wasn't even nominated for the Best Actress Oscar [for the only time in Oscar history, there was a major effort to have her still win by being a "write-in" candidate, but that failed, which was likely the greatest travesty in the history of the Academy Awards!]; as so often happens, Davis was given the Best Actress Oscar the following year for Dangerous, as a "consolation" prize for being robbed the year before!; as Mildred), Frances Dee, Kay Johnson, Reginald Denny, Alan Hale Sr., and Reginald Owen. Note that this movie was remade twice, in 1946 with Eleanor Parker and in 1964 with Kim Novak, and while both those actresses did excellent jobs, Davis' performance remains the definitive one! 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 poster has full-bleed borders on the left and right and has NOT been trimmed. This was done by RKO with their daybills in the 1940s and early 1950s. Advanced Australian collectors tell us that this is how all the daybills of this title were created. Please do not bid on this daybill thinking that it has been trimmed as it certainly was not. Condition: good to very good. The poster has paper loss in the bottom right corner that enters the small writing there. It has some tiny paper loss in the left of the bottom blank border and in the top blank corners. It has many small tears in the lower half of the left border and a few in the other borders, with tiny paper loss in the left black border by the top of the title. There is a 3" clean tear in the middle right of the poster and some pinholes scattered down the left of the poster (two of them are in the bottom of Davis' hair, but none of the others are in the stars' heads, although there are three in Howard's coat). There are light water stains scattered in the bottom half of the left border, extending into the left of the "B" of "BONDAGE" in the title. While this poster has many small defects, as noted above, they are the sort that are pretty easily corrected through restoration. After proper linenbacking, the poster will look fantastic (and we can provide a high quality image of the small missing lettering in the bottom right corner, to complete the distributor and studio credits).
