Auction History Result w008 WONDERFUL WORLD OF THE BROTHERS GRIMM special movie poster '62 Date Sold 7/10/2007Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Special Cinerama Movie Poster (measures 21" x 31") (Learn More) The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm, the 1962 Henry Levin & George Pal ("Fairy Tales directed by George Pal") fairy tale musical fantasy ("Share the true-life adventures of two famous story-telling brothers... and see their fabulous stories actually come to life!"; "'Wonderful' ...is the word for it!"; "Wonderful songs! Wonderful dances! Wonderful color!"; "In wonderful color!"; "Wonderful romances, dances, adventures! Stars, songs, story!"; "Based on 'Die Bruder Grimm' by Dr. Hermann Gerstner"; "Screen Story by David P. Harmon") starring Laurence Harvey (in the title role as Wilhelm Grimm), Claire Bloom, Karlheinz Bohm (in the title role as Jacob Grimm), Walter Slezak, Oscar Homolka, Barbara Eden, Yvette Mimieux, Russ Tamblyn, Jim Backus, Beulah Bondi, Terry-Thomas, and Buddy Hackett. Note that this movie opened to a very limited number of theaters in Cinerama, and after its initial engagement, it played in many theaters NOT in Cinerama. Very, very few items survive from the initial Cinerama release. None of them are regular sized posters, surely because the Cinerama theaters that it premiered at made their own posters!

Important Added Info: Note that there have always been two incredibly elusive titles for collectors of Cinerama posters from Cinerama movies. One is "How the West Was Won", and there are a few posters that are POSSIBLY from the 1962 U.S. Cinerama release (but there is doubt about them), and the other is this title, "The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm", and, as far as I know, no one has ever seen a single original U.S. Cinerama poster from this movie! This week on eBay, we are selling FOUR posters that have just been uncovered (one by itself, and three in a lot of 3), and they are from the U.S. Cinerama release of this movie! I have never heard or seen of these posters before, and, as I say, I have never seen or heard of any other posters from the U.S. Cinerama release of this movie. Also note that this poster is unusual, in that the Cinerama logo is printed vertically on the far right of the poster, and is separated from the rest of the artwork. I don't know why this was done, but it certainly seems possible that the movie producers were thinking ahead, and that they knew that some theaters would have the Cinerama equipment and some would not, and they made the poster this way to allow theaters to trim off the Cinerama part if they were not showing it in Cinerama. If anyone knows more about this poster and why it was printed this way, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good to fine. The poster has some minor creases scattered throughout the poster, more so around the edges. There are two tiny tears in the lower right blank border. There are a few scattered stains on the back of the left border, but they do not affect the front at all. Other than the above, the poster is in nice condition, and it has never been folded! There is a good chance that this poster was never used, or was only used one time. The poster has survived in nice condition, but has a few VERY minor imperfections, typical of this type of poster, and typical of the defects caused by handling the posters, and the aging of the paper over many years. We may have written just a few words about those imperfections, but we may not have, as they are very minor. You should look at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster, which will confirm just how few defects this poster has! Learn More about condition grades
