That's some precode gorgeousness right there. Yowza.

Love the fact you point this is a precode...with a Script by the one and Only Anita Loos!!

Lillian 'Lil': Sally, I'm the happiest girl in the world. I'm in love and I'm gonna be married.

Sally: You're gonna marry Albert?

Lillian 'Lil': No, Gaerste.

Sally: In love with Gaerste?

Lillian 'Lil': No, Albert. Besides, I always did wanna learn french.

Sally: Oh, why don't you get yourself a laundryman and learn chinese?

There is no reserve posted yet at Heritage ... Something to consider...that color would have probably faded relatively fast if it had seen any direct sunlight.. in the first half of the 20th century red commercial printing was such a volatile color ...so if this piece wasn't punched up or restored heavily...I would think it should fetch in the mid 5 figures...somewhere between $30-$60 K

It is truly one of the gems of the hobby...congrats to Heritage for getting to handle another iconic piece!!

Gorgeous.

Finally did a pass through the upcoming HA auction and is it just me or is it Bond, Bond, Bond? It looks like my usual Bond posters bathroom break is going to be much longer than usual this time.

I hope the overall color on this poster hasn't been "punched up," either. Even if the red is a little less vibrant than that shown, I would rather see this poster in its true state, rather than made "a bit more pretty" for the online and/or printed catalogs. (And i mean on this or any poster, offered by any auction house or seller, in general, too).

I never 'got' the appeal of Jean Harlow... until I watched Red Headed Woman.

erik1925 · « **Reply #7033 on:** October 01, 2015, 02:57:15 PM »

She is also fantastic in Dinner At Eight (1933).

This is probably one of the first flickers I say her in.. and was blown away. She's got wonderful comedic timing, too.

I had the same but my film was "Hold your Man".. Jean Harlow and Gable. Boy that film is just incredible. I have "borrowed" some of the dialogues from that film in the past

Eddie:Here, I'll show you the bedroom.
Ruby:You can send me a picture.

Gotta love Kate, too! From 1933.

(And she's loving Dr. Henry Frankenstein

)

As well as Marlene. This poster is just incredible, imo. A stunning, pre war Belgian, from 1932.

Love the 'Shanghai Express' poster! A touch of expressionism perhaps?

A few Russians tonight have a blanket description "There are some edge pinholes, dot stains, smudges, areas of darkening and creases scattered in various areas, typical of Russian posters of this period" They are mostly for late 50s posters. Why are my spidey senses tingling here?

I believe the top portion is a recreation, ergo the cheap price
