The Philadelphia Story (MGM, 1940). One Sheet (27  X 41 )
The Philadelphia Story (MGM, 1940). One Sheet (27" X 41"). Could there be a better and more sophisticated comedy about love and marriage than George Cukor's "The Philadelphia Story?" We don't think so, and neither do the majority of film aficionados. It had been a successful play on Broadway when Katharine Hepburn (looking for great stories to help revive her sagging career) bought the movie rights. Her gamble paid off. The film was a major hit and single-handedly scrapped the "box-office poison" label she'd been tagged with. Jimmy Stewart won an Oscar as Best Actor and Hepburn was nominated -- again. Although Hepburn would win the Oscar many times, most fans feel this was the role she will best be remembered. Of the two One Sheets made for this film, this is the style that most collectors desire. Very Fine+ on Linen. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
