Tobacco Road (20th Century Fox, 1941). Half Sheet (22" X 28") Style B. Erskine Caldwell's controversial novel was first turned into a Broadway play, destined to become one of the longest-running productions in the history of the Great White Way. Heavily revised to make it more acceptable to the censors, this hilarious comedy is about a backwoods family of hillbillies led by clan patriarch Jeeter Lester (Charley Grapewin) about to be evicted from their land, and the comedic consequences that befall all who try to help. The movie boasts a great cast, including Marjorie Rambeau, Gene Tierney, Dana Andrews, Slim Summerville, and Ward Bond, under the direction of the legendary John Ford, making it a true classic. This beautiful paper-backed half sheet had one horizontal and three vertical fold lines, tears in the left border, cracking in the image area, and fold separations with small amounts of paper loss. Additionally, the top right corner was replaced, as was the bottom left border, with paint touch-ups in the credits. The professional restoration applied to this piece has been so expertly performed, it now has the appearance of a Near Mint poster. Folded, Good/Very Good on Paper. Shipping: Flat Material, Large (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. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Auctions, and all other information should be considered preliminary.
