IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT MOVIE POSTER 1934 WC CLARK GABLE
Welcome to the auction of a absolutely guaranteed original very fine condition American 14 by 22 inch original 1934 restored and paperbacked in 2006 window card size movie poster for IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT . The movie stars CLARK GABLE and CLAUDETTE COLBERT. Absolutely stunning art deco style artwork, definitely one of the best looking Gable posters ever and totally different art from the one sheet for this film that went for more than $70,000 at auction and far far better looking ! . Unfortunately though - this window card had some aging blemishes where the papers great age, as is common, caused to form grody pukey looking splotches here and there but they were removed or greatly lightened by one of the best restorers in the country with advanced chemical treatment techniques and some light penciling that avoided any spraying. You do not see much change in texture when you look at this piece at a angle where usually watercolors or standard restoration would show a pronounced difference in surface texture where the age spots were fixed , this is not the case here. The top of the piece was sprayed and the matching is seamless with the rest of the poster, if in L.A. feel free to check this piece out in person it is as good as the post restoration photos make it appear. As the pre-restoration photos clearly show the corners were rounded slightly and there was a checkmark and one line of writing done in pencil at the top with two pinholes at the top also but otherwise it was in amazingly preserved condition as the 4 photo's at the top of this page before restoration show, no creases at all even slightly anywhere obviously alot of careful effort went into storing this poster thru the years. I've added the after paperbacking and restoration photos the last and bottom 2 on the right . There was only the restoration of these flaws performed and the paperbacking allowed the poster more support and the strengthening and the squaring of the corners . Since it had already won best picture since it's announcing this on the poster I assume this poster was printed in 1935 but it was still in it's original release and is considered a original release poster.

SOME EXAMPLES -A DATE IS CHANGED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POSTER FOR THE RELEASE OF THE INCREDIBLE HULK BUT THE ONE I SENT WAS THE OLD DATE HE DIDN'T WANT .
