Description

Of Human Bondage (RKO, 1934). One Sheet (27" X 41"). A top-notch film with a top-notch cast, this was the movie that rocketed Bette Davis to stardom. Based on the book by W. Somerset Maugham, this is the story of Philip Carey (Leslie Howard), who enrolls in medical school after being told he has little talent as an artist. A disastrous affair with a morally shabby waitress (Davis) follows, but Carey finally finds true love in the person of Sally Altheny (Frances Dee). An important and hugely popular pre-Code film, paper on this title is virtually non-existent. This lovely stone litho one sheet is in exceptional condition, with just some fold wear and minor crossfold separation, as well as a chip in the left edge. These minor flaws have been addressed with professional restoration, resulting in a poster that is not only extremely attractive, but highly desirable. Two other versions of this story were filmed, one in 1946 and one in 1964, but this is by far the finest. Don't miss out on the chance to add this rare beauty to your collection! Very Fine+ on Linen.
