Description

The Private Life of Henry VIII (United Artists, 1933). Window Card (14" X 22"). Drama.
Only a star of Charles Laughton's caliber could so aptly portray the larger than life monarch in this Alexander Korda classic. The outstanding supporting cast includes Robert Donat, Merle Oberon, and Laughton's wife Elsa Lanchester. This British biopic was the first non-U.S. film to receive a Best Picture Oscar nomination and, although it did not win in that category, Laughton took home the Academy Award for Best Actor. The window card had pinholes in the corners, three corner chips, two small tears in the lower right, corner bends, and slight lifts from the linen backing, on the left side. Some of these issues have been addressed by restoration; the image and colors remain spectacular. Fine on Linen.
