THE MERRY WIDOW

Pre-War Belgian (24" x 33")
Fine+ on Linen
MGM, 1935

This beautiful Pre-War poster from director Ernst Lubitsch's classic musical comedy/romance has professional restoration to address corner chips on the upper borders with small tears and areas of paper loss that were expertly touched-up with light touch-up on Chevalier's teeth.

"The Merry Widow" is a 1934 film based on the 1905 operetta of the same name by Franz Lehar. Directed and produced by Ernst Lubitsch, it stars Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald and features Edward Everett Horton, Una Merkel, and Akim Tamiroff in supporting roles. Simultaneously, a French-language version titled "La Veuve joyeuse" was released in France, sharing some of the cast, including Chevalier, MacDonald, and Tamiroff, but not all. This poster is from that release.
