Description

Dangerous (Warner Bros., 1935). Very Fine- on Paper. Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style A.
Posters for director Alfred E. Green's Dangerous are incredibly scarce, none rarer than this style A half sheet featuring a beautiful image of star Bette Davis. Based on the story Hard Luck Dame by Laird Doyle, the film follows Joyce Heath (Davis), a self-destructive and alcoholic actress given a chance at rehabilitation by wealthy architect Don Bellows (Franchot Tone). Bette Davis won an Academy Award for her role in Dangerous, and this scarce poster is a beautiful tribute to her immortal performance. Backed on paper, the poster displays very well after restoration has addressed pinholes, tiny chips, creases, and tears. Davis' image was largely unmarred, with just a few small tears towards the edges of the image area. Most of the background has been airbrushed, giving the poster a clean appearance.
