Important Added Info: Note that in 1998, we at eMoviePoster.com auctioned the original 1934 linenbacked six-sheet for The Painted Veil, and it sold for $6,613. Some unknown talented painter decided to re-create this poster in its full size! They did a good job, but no one would mistake the painting for the original, both because there are slight differences, and because you can tell this is an actual painting on canvas when you look at it. But it certainly is an affordable alternative to the actual poster (which, in addition to being expensive, was likely one of a kind, and likely would be difficult to acquire at any price). But please do not bid on this item unless you want this canvas re-creation painting!

Condition: good. The painting was roughly handled, and there are creases and some folds scattered throughout. There are stains in the bottom left corner.
