Description

A Night at the Opera (MGM, 1936). Pre-War Belgian (23.75" X 33.5").
The Marx Brothers left Paramount for the greener pastures of MGM, which provided them with bigger budgets and higher production values. This was their first film for the studio, and one of their most accomplished, with the brothers invading the theater and skewering high society yet again. This extremely rare, pre-war, unfolded Belgian poster for the movie is of excellent quality, with no appreciable signs of damage, and boasts wonderful artwork by the great Al Hirschfeld. Very Fine+ on Linen.
