Description

Reckless (MGM, 1935). Fine on Linen. French Grande (45" X 61.25") Boris Grinsson Artwork.
An impulsive marriage between a Broadway star and a wealthy playboy sets the stage for scandal and heartbreak in Reckless, a romantic drama starring Jean Harlow, William Powell, and Franchot Tone. Loosely based on real-life tabloid events, the film explores the tension between fame, public scrutiny, and emotional vulnerability beneath the glittering facade of show business. Offered here in its Heritage debut is a vibrant first release French grande poster with artwork by Boris Grinsson that bursts with dramatic energy, featuring the radiant Harlow and the debonair William Powell set against a backdrop that suggests both romance and danger. While not Harlow's most celebrated role, the film offers a rare glimpse into MGM's polished yet cautionary portrayal of celebrity culture during the Depression era, with this poster perfectly capturing the era's cinematic allure. Slightly noticeable restoration has addressed fold wear, creases, fold/crossfold separation, chips, and a few areas of minor paper loss within the image. Some flaws may remain visible and there is tape staining on the linen verso.
