American Three Sheet 41" x 81"


This adaptation of Margaret Mitchell's classic novel of the old south made Hollywood history by capturing eight Oscars including Best Picture, Director (Victor Fleming), Screenplay, Actress (Vivien Leigh) and Supporting Actress (Hattie McDaniel). This three sheet is from the regular release of the picture when producer David O. Selznick heralded the film as a "Limited Engagement." After the film's roadshow run had come to an end (February 1940), the film was released wide and the public feared that the films running time (at just over three hours) would be shortened. The three sheets from the film's first release are incredibly scarce and this is the first copy I've ever offered. The poster has had touch up work done; primarily to the borders and the fold lines where there was some very minor tears and very tiny chipping. The image of Clark Gable has a tiny scratch at the corner of his mouth. Other than these minor issues, this poster is fantastic. Very Fine on Linen.
