An Original 1937 (from the first release of this movie in Sweden) Vintage Theatrical Folded Swedish Movie Poster (measures 27 1/2" x 39 1/2" [70 x 100 cm]) (Learn More) Lloyds of London, the 1936 Henry King England finance banking insurance romantic historical biography (produced by Darryl F. Zanuck; about Jonathan Blake, the man who help found the famous English insurance firm, but the movie takes GREAT liberties with what really occurred, and only has the slightest connection to the real story!) starring Freddie Bartholomew (as the young Jonathan Blake; his role is fairly minor, but he still got top billing, reflective of how big a star he was at this time!), Madeleine Carroll, Guy Standing (billed as "Sir Guy Standing"), Tyrone Power Jr. (as Jonathan Blake; in his first big success, but he is fourth billed), C. Aubrey Smith, Virginia Field, George Sanders (low billed, in his first year of credits roles!), "and a Mammoth Cast". Note that Freddie Bartholomew was at the height of his career when this movie was made, and even though he only played the star of the movie as a youth in a short part of the movie, he was still given top billing! Also note that this movie had a brief release at the end of 1936 (no doubt to qualify for awards), but went into wide release of January of 1937, so some of the movie paper for it is dated 1936 and some of it is dated 1937, but it is all from the first release of the movie. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Eric Rohman Important Added Info: Note that a collector points out that Tyrone Power receives top billing on this poster, whereas he received fourth billing on the U.S. one-sheet, which means it is a likely this poster is not from 1936. However, it was quite common for U.S. movies to be released in other countries the following year after the U.S. release (there was often a time lag for movies to play in other countries, both to and from the United States), and given that Tyrone Power became a major star immediately after the release of this movie (he received top billing in his very next movie, "In Old Chicago"), and given that the art on this poster is extremely similar to that of the 1936 U.S. one-sheet, we believe it is very likely that this poster dates from 1937. Condition: good. The poster is somewhat very fragile. There are some creases, defects, areas of paper loss and tears of varying lengths along parts of some edges. A few of the tears or other defects as described above are repaired with tape from the back. Learn More about condition grades
