An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Belgian Movie Poster (measures 23 3/4" x 31" [60 x 79 cm]) (Learn More) Un Soir De Rafle (released in English-speaking countries as "Dragnet Night"), the 1931 Carmine Gallone French sports boxing crime romantic melodrama starring Albert Prejean, Annabella, Lucien Baroux, Edith Mera, Jacques Lerner, and Contast Remy. Note that this movie was written in part by Henri Georges Clouzot. He was just 24 at the time, and this was one of his first screenwriting jobs. He would spend 11 years as a screenwriter before finally getting a chance to direct a movie, and of course, he became a legendary director, and his masterpiece was "Wages of Fear". Note that we were unable to find much of any information about this movie beyond the cast and crew. If anyone knows more about it, especially a plot summary, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this Belgian poster, and that was 6 years ago! Also note that this is a rare "pre-War" Belgian poster. Prior to World War II, Belgian posters were much larger than the ones from after the war, and they are extremely rare (because during WWII, there was a massive paper shortage in Belgium, and they took virtually every poster and map, and printed new posters on the backs of them!).

The poster had minor fold wear and tiny paper loss in the bottom right corner, with a 5" tear in the right border that slightly extended into the credits next to the boxers. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
