Description

Red Dust (MGM, 1932). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style D.
A fabulous stone litho one sheet for Jean Harlow and Clark Gable's "hottest" pre-Code film (they made six films together) is offered in this lot. Gable is a plantation owner in Indochina who has a torrid affair with Harlow. Yet complications arise when Gene Raymond and wife Mary Astor arrive and Gable becomes romantically involved with Astor. Dialogue filled with sexual innuendo and a fiery chemistry between the stars made this one of MGM's biggest money-makers. This poster is highly sought after by collectors, and this is one of only a few known to have surfaced. It had some missing paper in the upper and middle left section, primarily along the border. The poster has been expertly restored and now has a wonderful appearance. Some fold lines were touched-up, as well. Fine- on Linen.
