Date Sold 3/19/2020Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1938 (from the first release of this movie in Italy) Vintage Theatrical Folded Italian Two-Panel (known in Italy as a "4 Fogli") Movie Poster (2p; measures 55" x 78" [140 x 198 cm]) (Learn More) Call of the Wild, the 1935 William A. Wellman Alaska Yukon canine dog adventure gambling romantic melodrama ("Clark Gable portrays his most virile role in Darryl Zanuck's production"; "Based on the story by Jack London", but with a greatly expanded romance that wasn't in the book) starring Clark Gable, Loretta Young, Jack Oakie, Reginald Owen, Frank Conroy, and Buck (the St. Bernard dog!). Note that while making this movie, married Clark Gable had an affair (or was it rape?) with unmarried Loretta Young, and she became pregnant, and because it would have ruined both their careers, she took a year off and returned with an "adopted" baby! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare pre-World War II Italian poster. We have only previously auctioned one example of this poster, and the buyer has now re-consigned it to us, so this is still the only example of this poster we have ever auctioned! Virtually no Italian posters survive from before, during, or right after World War II (mostly only pre-war heavy stock lobby cards, and even those are rare). Apparently there were many paper shortages in Italy during World War II, resulting in the destruction of almost all pre-World War II posters! Also note that this Italian two-panel was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Note that this Italian poster WAS folded in half "an extra time", as some Italian posters are. This means it has more folds than those posters which were NOT folded an extra time, but it also means that it can be sent in a standard flat package, while those that were NOT folded an extra time must be sent in a larger flat package that measures approximately 15" x 23". We list the two types separately by how they are folded, so that you can more easily know which kind of shipping each type requires. Condition: fair. Learn More about condition grades
