An Original Undated (probably mid to late 1940s; from the first Belgian release of this movie) Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Belgian Movie Poster (measures 11 1/2" x 16 1/4" [29 x 41 cm]) (Learn More)

Bulldog Jack (released in the U.S. as "Alias Bulldog Drummond"), the 1935 Walter Forde English detective mystery crime comedy (the real Bulldog Drummond is injured and he asks his friend Jack to take his place, and he does, helping solve the kidnapping of a jeweler by crooks who want him to make a forgery of expensive jewels) starring Jack Hulbert (in the title role as Jack Pennington), Fay Wray, Ralph Richardson, Claude Hulbert, Gibb McLaughlin, and Atholl Fleming (as Bulldog Drummond). Note that "Bulldog Drummond" was a fictional English detective who was created in 1920 in a magazine story by H.C. McNeile, who wrote under the pen name of "Sapper" He appeared in ten novels, short stories, and even stage plays. When McNeile passed away in 1937, his friend, Gerard Fairlie, wrote more stories between 1938 and 1954, and after that, other authors created even more stories. Drummond was a World War I veteran who is bored and becomes an amateur detective, and he marries his first client, who becomes his assistant. The first movie based on this character was in 1923, with Carlyle Blackwell in the lead role. There was one more silent with Jack Buchanan in the lead, and then Ronald Colman starred in the first sound version in 1929. There were 13 movies in the 1930s, many with John Howard in the lead role. The character was revived in 1947, and 5 movies were made between 1947 and 1951, with Ron Randell, Tom Conway, and Walter Pidgeon playing the leads.

Important Added Info: Note that movie paper of any sort from this very obscure detective movie is incredibly rare! This is the very first item from it that we have ever seen or heard of! Also note that this is a very difficult poster to date! It is printed in a very small size (it was printed on the back of a theater seating plan), and this almost always was only true in Belgium from the very late 1930s through the late 1940s, when there was a huge paper shortage there due to World War II. But this movie first played in England in 1935 (and in Denmark and the U.S. as well), but we think it did not make it to France and Belgium until the mid to late 1940s, which would explain why it is not a large size Belgian poster as you would expect from 1935. If anyone knows more about the release date of this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

UPDATED 08/29/2012: Initially, we listed the first release date as 1930s but upon further review, we have updated the first release date to 1940s.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster was printed on the back of a theater seating plan. There is slight bleed-through from the printing on the back in the light colored areas. The poster has slightly darkened around the edges. Otherwise, the poster was in pretty good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
