Description
Grand Hotel (MGM, R-1950s). Fine/Very Fine on Linen. Italian 2 - Fogli (39.25" X 55") Angelo Cesselon Artwork.Grand Hotel is a classic drama that weaves together the lives of wealthy and working-class guests at a luxurious Berlin hotel. Featuring an all-star cast, including Greta Garbo, John Barrymore, and Joan Crawford, the film showcases intertwining stories of romance, deception, and ambition. Known for its groundbreaking ensemble format, Grand Hotel won the Academy Award for Best Picture and set a new standard for multi-character storytelling in Hollywood. The film was inspired by Vicki Baum's novel Menschen im Hotel, which was based on her experiences working as a receptionist at Berlin's Hotel Adlon, a real-life symbol of luxury and glamour. This beautiful Italian poster probably dates to the 1950s and features a spectacular portrait of Garbo by the prolific Angelo Cesselon. A first-time offering from Heritage, this poster has pinholes, light touchup, and airbrushing to the borders. The linen has been trimmed to the border.
