An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) Gone with the Wind, the classic 1939 Victor Fleming (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) Civil War era romantic melodrama epic ("The Greatest Motion Picture Ever Made!"; "In the New Screen splendor... The most magnificent picture ever!"; "David O. Selznick's production of Margaret Mitchell's story of the Old South"; "Screen play by Sidney Howard"; winner of the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Clark Gable (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; "as Rhett Butler"), Vivien Leigh (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; "and presenting Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara"), Leslie Howard ("as Ashley Wilkes"), Olivia de Havilland (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film; "as Melanie"), Hattie McDaniel ("as Mammy"), Thomas Mitchell ("as Gerald O'Hara"), Butterfly McQueen (as Prissy), Ann Rutherford ("as Carreen O'Hara"), George Reeves (in his first credited movie role!), Victor Jory, Jane Darwell, Ward Bond, Ona Munson ("as Belle Watling"), Yakima Canutt, Harry Davenport ("as Dr. Meade"), Carroll Nye ("as Frank Kennedy"), Laura Hope Crews ("as Aunt Pittypat"), Alicia Rhett ("as India Wilkes"), Barbara O'Neil ("as Ellen O'Hara"), and Marcella Martin (as Cathleen Calvert) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that most of the posters from the very first 1939 release of "Gone With the Wind" have a picture frame border design. I have sold many examples of the various styles of one-sheets, and many examples of the lobby card set, but in the 17 years I have sold posters full-time, I have only sold one example of the other style of half-sheet (which has an image of Gable kissing Leigh), and this is the very first example of this style of half-sheet I have ever sold (it has an identical image to that of the 1939 title card), which tells me that it is certainly an extremely rare poster! Condition: very good. The poster was folded once in each direction. It had a long tear that went from the upper left border across to the top of the "I" in "WIND", but fortunately, it entirely went through the yellow background. There was a slightly diagonal tear in the bottom right of the poster running from the second "A" of "de HAVILLAND" down to the bottom border, running through the "R" of "PICTURE". There were smaller tears, creases, and smudges around the edges of the poster and to a lesser extent throughout the image. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed. You can see some signs of the restoration, but from any distance away, it is not distracting.
