An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked French Movie Poster (measures approximately 24" x 32"; known as an 'affiche' poster in France) (Learn More) Cecil B. DeMille's This Day and Age, the 1933 Cecil B. DeMille vigilante justice crime thriller (about a small town where a much loved tailor is killed by a gangster, and when the city leaders do nothing about it, a group of teenagers gather together and kidnap the gangster and threaten to kill him unless he confesses!) starring Charles Bickford, Richard Cromwell, John Carradine, Louise Carter, Fuzzy Knight, Harry Green, Ben Alexander, Judith Allen, and Bradley Page. Note that the teenagers include several sons of famous actors, including "Erich von Stroheim Jr.", "Wallace Reid Jr.", and "Fred Kohler Jr.", but none of these teen actors had much success in the movies! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some very minor defects that were not completely restored, and are slightly noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "Pre-Restoration Defects & Quality of Restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had a tiny circular area of paper loss in the middle left of the image 1" below the title. There were some tiny areas of paper loss in the bottom horizontal foldline and there was slight darkening on several folds. There is a censor stamp in the top right above the heads of the stars, and some areas of paper loss in the blank borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but the restorer simply backed it "as is", only "filling in" the missing paper in the blank borders, which is still noticeable (and the defects in the image area described above are not very noticeable or distracting).
