An Original Vintage Theatrical English Trade-Ad (measures 11" x 17" [28 x 43 cm]; 2 pages) (Learn More) Dragonwyck, the 1946 Joseph L. Mankiewicz gothic-period romantic melodrama ("'I don't care whether anyone knows!... It's enough that we know... and will know till the end of our days!'"; "From the novel by Anya Seton"; "All the compelling passion... the gripping suspense... of the great novel... even greater on the screen!"; produced by Ernst Lubitsch & Darryl F. Zanuck) starring Gene Tierney, Walter Huston, Vincent Price, Glenn Langan, Anne Revere, Spring Byington, Connie Marshall, Harry Morgan (billed as "Henry Morgan"), Jessica Tandy and Trudy Marshall. Note that Ernst Lubitsch had suffered a major heart attack in 1943, but wanted to continue working, and he was supposed to direct this movie (as well as a few others), but he was too ill, and he was named as producer (apparently, just as a gesture of kindness). In 1947, Lubitsch passed away from another heart attack at the age of 55. Also note that Connie Marshall was a teen actress who had been a child model, and she had a significant role in "Sunday Dinner for a Soldier" two years before this movie, and then she would have another significant role in "Sentimental Journey" in this same year, but after that, as she aged, her career stalled (she was in some good movies like "Mr. Blandings Builds his Dream House", but she had a minor role), and in 1954, she quit acting and got married and raised a family. She was so forgotten that her passing in 2001 was not noted in the media until five years later. But for a few years in the mid 1940s, she was a top juvenile actress!

Important Added Info: Note that this two-page English ad was removed from an issue of Kinematograph Weekly, and that there is text writing on the back of both of the pages. From the 1920s on, studios would create elaborate trade ads, often in full color, and often using the finest artists of the day. They would run these ads in their studio yearbooks and exhibitor magazines, and they would also print those trade ads separately and mail them individually to theater owners, trying to get them to book that specific movie. Sometimes those books and magazines are separated and the ads, which now greatly resemble the individually printed trade ads, are sold individually. It can be framed and displayed (but many trade ads have different images on each side, so one must choose which side to display if it is framed!). Condition: very good. Note that this two-page English ad was removed from an issue of Kinematograph Weekly, and that there is text writing on the back of both of the pages, but it does not affect the ad.
