Date Sold 12/31/2019Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Rene Clair's And Then There Were None, the 1945 Rene Clair crime murder mystery thriller ("From the story by Agatha Christie", where ten people are invited to a desert island, and one by one, they are killed) starring Barry Fitzgerald, Walter Huston, Louis Hayward, Roland Young, June Duprez, Sir C. Aubrey Smith, Mischa Auer, Judith Anderson, Richard Haydn, Queenie Leonard, and Harry Thurston. Note that this book was originally published in 1939 as "Ten Little Niggers", taken from the nursery rhyme that had been written many years before. That title was already offensive in the U.S., and the title was changed to "And Then There Were None" for the U.S. publication, and for the 1945 film version that followed (that is the final line of the nursery rhyme). In England, the book title was later changed to "Ten Little Indians", and in 1965, an English remake was given that title, as were several other remakes. Ironically, the name "Ten Little Indians" is now itself "politically incorrect", so that name also is no longer used. 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 rare poster. We have only auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! Note that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 insert posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 insert posters (note that most post-1970 inserts were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those inserts). Condition: good. The poster was never machine folded. It has a horizontal fold 4" from the bottom and some light partial folds scattered through the poster. It had tears around the edges with a 3" tear in the right of the top border entering Huston's forehead and eye. Someone put tape on the back of that tear and also the back of other tears and them performed amateur restoration to the front of those areas. There are several tears that don't have tape on the back and creases in the top left corner (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
