Description

Too Hot to Handle (MGM, 1938). Very Fine- on Linen. French Grande (47" X 62.75"). Roger Soubie Artwork.
Clark Gable and Walter Pidgeon star as rival newsreel men in 1938's Too Hot to Handle, whose fierce professional competition is interrupted when they join forces with daring aviatrix Myrna Loy to search for her missing brother. Blending romance, screwball comedy, and adventure in classic MGM fashion, the film is represented here by a beautiful French grande featuring exceptional artwork by renowned illustrator Roger Soubie. A true rarity, Heritage Auctions has never before offered this large-format French poster. Touchup has been applied minimally to address fold wear, creases, slight fold and crossfold wear, and a few minor chips and tears. Light smudges and scuffs, an ink stamp along the bottom border, and light staining remain.
