An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Belgian Movie Poster (measures 14 1/4" x 21 1/4" [36 x 54 cm]) (Learn More)

The Great Gatsby, the 1949 Elliott Nugent romantic melodrama ("A Great Cast... A Great Novel... A Great Motion Picture"; "Ladd as man of violence and mystery vs. women of wealth and Beauty!"; "From the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald and the play by Owen Davis") starring Alan Ladd (in the title role as Jay Gatsby), Betty Field (as Daisy Buchanan), Macdonald Carey (as Nick Carraway), Ruth Hussey (as Jordan Baker), Barry Sullivan (as Tom Buchanan), Howard Da Silva, Shelley Winters, and Ed Begley. Note that F. Scott Fitzgerald's legendary novel was first adapted as a movie in 1926 (the novel was published in 1925). This 1949 remake was not very faithful to the novel, and was not very successful at the box office, and neither was the 1974 remake starring Robert Redford (to be fair, it would be very difficult for a movie to be faithful to the book and succeed at the box office).

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that for this poster, like the U.S. one-sheet, the poster artist "cheated" and used an image of Alan Ladd surrounded by sexy women, to try to fool theater goers into thinking this was another of his film noir roles! Note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: good. The poster has slight discoloration scattered in some areas from exposure to moisture. It has a long piece of tape over the lower blank border and a tax stamp at lower left. It could be backed and restored through chemical means and it would look great, but please bear in mind the cost of restoration before placing a bid.
