Auction description:
click for larger image 28860: La Grande Illlusion (Cinedis, 1937). French La Grande Illusion (RAC, Post War-1946). French Double Panel (63" X 94"). Widely considered one of the greatest war films ever made, Jean Renoir's La Grande Illusion is at the same time thought provoking and witty. Two French pilots from different social classes (Pierre Fresnay and Jean Gabin) are shot down while on a surveillance mission over Germany during WWI. While held prisoner in a POW camp, they befriend other prisoners while plotting an escape under the watchful eye of the camp's commander (Erich von Stroheim). This impressively large country of origin poster is in remarkable shape. There was a small scratch in the top border along with minor separations and slight tanning at the folds. But now, thanks to an excellent professional restoration and dazzling Herve' Morvan (1917-1980) artwork, this poster is a very displayable joy to behold. Very Fine on Linen. Shipping: Rolled Material ( view shipping information ) Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 100-110 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. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 22.50% Buyer's Premium with a $9 minimum Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. This lot is being auctioned in conjunction with a live floor auction by Heritage Auctions.
