Date Sold 2/15/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 2 Original Vintage Special Local Theater Movie Posters (measure 28" x 44" [71 x 112 cm]) (Learn More) A Study in Scarlet, the 1933 Edwin L. Marin detective crime mystery thriller ("A Sherlock Holmes adventure by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle") starring Reginald Owen (as Sherlock Holmes), Anna May Wong, June Clyde, Alan Dinehart, John Warburton, Alan Mowbray (as Lestrade), Warburton Gamble (as Dr. Watson), and Tetsu Komai. Note that this is an unusual Sherlock Holmes movie, in several respects. A year earlier, Fox had made a "Sherlock Holmes" movie with Clive Brook in the title role and Reginald Owen played Watson, and in this movie, made by World Wide Pictures, but distributed by Fox, Owen now played Holmes! In addition, the Arthur Conan Doyle estate demanded a very high price for the studio to adapt this story, but charged a much lower price to just use the title and the characters, so the studio went with the lower price, and hired Robert Florey to write an entirely new plot. What he came up with was a story where characters are killed one by one, which he "borrowed" from Stanislas-Andre Steeman's 1931 detective novel "Six Hommes Morts", and which Agatha Christie again "borrowed" in 1939 for her classic "Ten Little Indians"!

Important Added Info: Note that these special posters which measure 28" x 44" each, were created on heavy boards by a local theater that was showing this movie in 1933. They are surely one-of-a-kind. First release posters from this movie are unbelievably rare. The only poster from this movie we have ever auctioned prior to this was a three-sheet in 2018 which sold for $2,611. Our consignor purchased this pair of posters for $1,450 in 2012, but they are being auctioned here with no reserve. They will ship in a very large flat package that measures approximately 30" x 46" so bear in mind the added shipping expense before bidding. Condition: very good. Each has some wear around the edges (see our images). Learn More about condition grades
