Auction History Result 7k048 CORSAIR linen 1sh 1931 great art of Chester Morris, Thelma Todd billed as Alison Loyd, rare! Date Sold 6/15/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 28" x 41" [71 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Corsair, the 1931 Roland West business romantic crime thriller ("Roland West's thrilling production from the Liberty Magazine serial novel by Walton Green"; "Things began to happen when this football hero - became a pirate in flannels!") starring Chester Morris, Thelma Todd (billed as "Alison Loyd"), Fred Kohler, Ned Sparks, Frank McHugh, Mayo Methot, and William Austin. Note that Thelma Todd was billed under her real name when this movie was made in 1931. It was re-released in 1937 by Artcinema, and it they oddly did not bill Todd at all on any of their re-release posters or lobby cards (perhaps because Todd had tragically died in 1935), but she was prominently pictured on the 1937 re-release items.

Important Added Info: Note that first release movie paper from this 1931 Chester Morris movie is incredibly rare (likely because it was distributed through United Artists, which only handled the first release).

Also note that this one-sheet measures 28" x 41" [71 x 104 cm]. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good.
