An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Style A One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

The Coast of Folly, the 1925 Allan Dwan silent family relationship mother/daughter romantic love triangle inheritance melodrama ("Presented by Adolph Zukor and Jesse L. Lasky"; "From the novel by Coningsby Dawson"; a wild story of a woman who leaves her rich husband and daughter and disappears to Europe; when the husband dies 20 years later, he leaves his fortune to his now grown up daughter, but only if she stays out of a scandal like her mother, and then the daughter becomes involved in a scandal, but who should rescue her, but her long lost mother, who has become a Countess in the 20 years she was gone!) starring Gloria Swanson (in a dual role as mother and daughter), Anthony Jowitt, Alec B. Francis, Dorothy Cumming, and Jed Prouty. Note that reading the above plot summary, you think that nothing could make this movie even more preposterous than it is, but the producers managed to do that by casting Gloria Swanson as BOTH the mother AND the daughter! Sadly, this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist.

Important Added Info: Note that first release 1925 movie paper from this Gloria Swanson movie is incredibly rare. We have only auctioned three single lobby cards from this movie until we received this one-sheet!

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds. It had some tears and tiny paper loss along parts of the folds, with some small areas of paper loss and creases in a few non-foldline image areas. It had pinholes and tears around the edges, some extending into the image, with a few areas of paper loss in the blank borders. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
