Three Sheet (41" x 79"); Roadshow Style AF
Very Fine on Linen; Artwork by Armando Seguso
MGM, 1939

This highly acclaimed movie was released in late December 1939 and initially shown in a limited engagement with higher-priced tickets, complete with an overture and intermission. In early 1940, the film was distributed for a wide release with lower ticket prices. The posters created for the first showing in 1939 and early 1940 are referred to as Roadshow posters, which do not include any wording about "back at regular prices," unlike the standard release posters that appeared from 1940 onward.

Professionally restored to linen, there has been slight airbrushing to the credits and borders. The upper and lower panels do not align as the printers intended, but this misalignment was very common during this period of poster production.

This epic Civil War romance overcame serious production problems to win 10 Oscars (including Best Picture, Best Director for Victor Fleming, and Best Supporting Actress for Hattie McDaniel, the first African-American to win an Academy Award) and become the highest-grossing film in history (adjusted for inflation).
