Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Belgian Movie Poster (measures 14 1/2" x 18 1/2") (Learn More) Cynthia, the 1947 Robert Z. Leonard romantic sickly-girl-with-overprotective-parents comedy ("You'll fall in love with Cynthia"; "Based on a play by Vina Delmar", which borrows elements of its plots from The Secret Garden) starring Elizabeth Taylor (in her first "grown-up" title role as Cynthia Bishop), George Murphy, S.Z. Sakall, Mary Astor, Gene Lockhart, Spring Byington, James Lydon, and Scotty Beckett. Note that Elizabeth Taylor was just 15 when this movie was made, and just a year before, she was a child actress, but MGM recognized that she had "matured", so they gave her this role, where she, while still a teen, had her first romantic part, including a kiss with boyfriend James Lydon!

Important Added Info: Note that this Belgian poster has been trimmed and measures 14 1/2" x 18 1/2". This poster has been professionally linenbacked. It now looks great, and most dealers would describe it as "fine (or mint) on linen". We have noted the defects that were restored below (and feel everyone should always do this!). Many collectors would not be aware of the restoration this poster has had unless it was specifically shown to them! Condition: very good. There were two horizontal foldlines. Both were restored, but they are still visible on close inspection. There are two small areas of the poster were the poster is very slightly "bubbling up" from the linen (the poster must not have been per. Most of the linenbacked posters we sell were restored by the finest professionals. An expertly linenbacked poster will often appear "mint", as its defects have been made to "vanish". We are the only seller we are aware of who always tries to describe the condition of the poster prior to being linenbacked, so you are fully aware of what restoration was performed.
