An Original Vintage Movie Trade Ad (measures 12 1/4" x 18" [31 x 46 cm]; 2 pages) (Learn More) Casablanca, the classic 1942 Michael Curtiz (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) anti-Nazi World War II (WWII) romantic love triangle melodrama ("From a play by Murray Burnett and June Alison"; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award; it is interesting to note that the movie was made while World War II was being fought, and at a point when it seemed very real that Germany might take over the entire world, and in that context, the strong emotions expressed throughout the movie are all the more poignant, given what was going on in the world at that time) starring Humphrey Bogart (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; as "Rick", Richard Blaine), Ingrid Bergman (as Ilsa Lund), Paul Henreid (as Victor Laszlo), Claude Rains (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; as Captain Renault), Conrad Veidt (as Major Strasser), Sydney Greenstreet (as Signor Ferrari), Peter Lorre (as Ugarte), S.Z. Sakall (as Carl), Dooley Wilson (as Sam), Madeleine LeBeau (as Yvonne), Leonid Kinskey (as Sascha), John Qualen (as Berger), Marcel Dalio (as Emil, the croupier at the roulette wheel), Corinna Mura (as the cabaret singer who plays the guitar and sings "La Marseillaise"), Helmut Dantine (as the young man playing roulette), and Joy Page (as Dantine's girlfriend, who is willing to sleep with Rains) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is a great trade ad taken out of an issue of a trade magazine (we have 23 of them in this set of auctions, all from Humphrey Bogart movies). Studios would run these elaborate ads in issues of this magazine, and they often had images not found on any of the regular movie posters (either English or U.S.). This Motion Picture Herald trade ad will look incredible displayed on the new owner's wall. The back of this trade ad has text or ads for other movies from that time, and we have not pictured the back because the primary interest to bidders is the great ad we have pictured. Note finally 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.
UPDATED 10/25/2019: Note that we originally mentioned that this is an English trade ad from Kinematograph Weekly. However, this is likely a U.S. trade ad taken from a Motion Picture Herald magazine. Condition: good. The ad was removed from a magazine (see above). It is completely separated along the spine, except it is held together at upper center by one single remaining staple, so unless one wants the trade ad to separate (for whatever reason), one must exercise MUCH caution when handling this item. The images on front are in pretty nice condition (there are a few areas of surface paper loss on back) but please see our images and bear in mind the condition of the ad before placing a bid.
