Note: Scroll down for the condition, description, and item defects. Film Description Ninotchka, the 1939 Ernst Lubitsch romantic comedy (about a Soviet Russian woman who travels to Paris, France on business and discovers there is more to life than Communism offers; "Garbo laughs in the greatest comedy hit of the year!"; "A new laughing Garbo"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; with a screenplay written by Charles Brackett, Billy Wilder and Walter Reisch; "Based on the original story by Melchior Lengyel") starring Greta Garbo (in her nominated for Best Actress Academy Award role), Melvyn Douglas, Ina Claire, Bela Lugosi and Sig Ruman (German character actor of the 1930s, best remembered as the foil of many of Groucho Marx's jokes in several of the Marx Bros. movies, he slowly Americanized his name in the late 1930s, no doubt due to anti-German sentiment, but he had great success in the early 1940s playing stock German characters)
More About This Item Featuring Al Hirschfeld Artwork Note that next to the lot number in the title of this auction we put "FF". The "FF" is a note for our shipping department to let them know the poster is stored "Fully Folded". This allows us to more quickly find the item in our warehouse, therefore helping us to ship all orders as quickly as possible. Other items will have either a "UF" (UnFolded), "TF" (Tri-Folded), or "FF" (Fully Folded) next to the lot number, but please know that no matter which you buy (or if you buy any combination thereof), you only pay a single U.S. shipping charge (non-U.S. orders are charged the actual cost of shipping), as we can unfold tri-folded or fully folded posters and roll them in with unfolded posters, thus sending a single package.
Overall Condition: very good Notable Defects: There is a censor stamp in the top right white background area (with slight ink transfer in the corresponding place in the bottom right white background area). Otherwise, the poster is in quite nice condition!
Explanation Of What This Condition Grade Means: This item has survived in pretty nice condition, but has some relatively minor imperfections. If they are within the image, they are not very distracting at all, or they may be in the blank borders, where they will not show when the item is displayed. We may have written a few words about those imperfections, but we may not have, as they are relatively minor, and you can likely see them by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual item (if they are the type that CAN'T be seen in our super-sized image, like faint water staining or tape on the back, we ALWAYS describe that in words).
More About This Poster Type: One-Sheets are the standard movie poster size, what you see outside of any movie theater. From 1896 until roughly 1990, almost all actual theater-used one-sheets measured 27" x 41" (since then, most one-sheets measure 27" x 40"). Up until 1980 (or thereabouts) the vast majority of one-sheets were folded twice horizontally and once vertically (this is in no way considered a defect). Sometime during the late '70s, studios began printing one-sheets rolled. Most one-sheets after the mid-1980s are printed unfolded, though it is still possible to find some newer posters folded. Most newer one-sheets are printed double-sided (with a mirror image on the back) for use in a light box in front of the theaters. However, sometimes the studios print some posters single-sided. All of the one-sheets (unless otherwise noted) being sold by eMoviePoster are original vintage theater-used one-sheets!
