| Notes: Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh star in one of the most important pictures ever made. The film went on to win Oscars for Best Picture, Actress, Director, Screenplay and Supporting Actress among others. N.B. Shortly after the film's initial release the film went into a wider release and to allay the public's fears that the film would be abridged, MGM announced that the only thing that had been cut were the ticket prices. The main print run, during the second month of release, had the additional tag line announcing this "Full Length, Nothing Cut" information printed on the poster. Most surviving posters are from this print run but this example does not have this printed information, identifying it as a particularly rare poster from the very first print run from the film's first release in 1939. This is also the very rare style CF and is one of the more desirable of the four styles done. Prior to linen backing this poster had fold separations with paper loss and edge chips in the borders. These have been addressed during linen backing by Dario Casadei and the poster now displays well with restoration to the borders and background areas. |
