R99 Vintage Theatrical Unfolded One-Sheet Movie Poster (27" x 39") (Learn More) La Grande Illusion (released in the U.S. in 1938 as "Grand Illusion"), the classic 1937 Jean Renoir French France Germany World War I (WWI) anti-war military prisoner of war (POW) melodrama (nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; many people rightfully consider this movie to be one of the handful of absolute finest movies ever made!) starring Jean Gabin, Dita Parlo, Pierre Fresnay, Erich von Stroheim, Julien Carette (billed as "Carette"), Gaston Modot (billed as "Modot"), Georges Peclet (billed as "Peclet"), Marcel Dalio (billed as "Dalio"), and Jean Daste (billed as "Daste"). Note that this is also the rare case of a great movie that was recognized as being truly great right after it was made. It was the first foreign film ever to be nominated for the Best Picture Oscar, and it certainly deserved to win! 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 one-sheet measures 27" x 39" and is printed on higher quality paper than some of the one-sheets of this period. Please do not bid on this poster thinking it is 27" x 41". Condition: fine. Note that this poster has never been folded! Most studios stopped folding posters somewhere around 1980, for a while offering theaters their choice of folded or unfolded posters. But please be aware that this poster was actually used in a theater, so it almost surely has light creases caused by rolling and unrolling the poster. If you are very condition conscious, then you should not bid on this poster, as it is sure to have at least some minor imperfections (we have given a brief description of the poster's defects in our condition grading above). But if you can accept minor defects, this is a great opportunity to purchase this poster (and any of the other 1000+ one-sheets we are currently selling on eBay!). Other than some very minor creases in the upper left corner and along the bottom edge, the poster is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
