The Stranger (RKO, 1946). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style A. Notorious Nazi war criminal Franz Kindler (Orson Welles) relocates to a small New England town, assuming the identity of kindly college professor Charles Rankin and marrying the lovely Mary (Loretta Young). The arrival in town of a former associate (Konstantin Shayne), followed by War Crimes Commissioner Wilson (Edward G. Robinson), shatters Kindler's tranquil existence, forcing him to take desperate steps. Although Welles considered this to be the least favorite of his projects, it was the only film to be directed by him that actually made a profit in its original release. The gorgeous one sheet offered here had pinholes in the bottom of the image area, a tear in the left border that extends into Robinson's face, and another that extends from the top horizontal fold line into Welles's face, slight chipping in the right and left borders, small area of paper loss in Young's forehead and chest at crossfolds, and very light scratches in Welles's face. Expert professional restoration has addressed these issues, rendering them all but invisible. This is a fabulous poster, featuring some of the top talents of the era. 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. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Auctions, and all other information should be considered preliminary. Lot:28040 Winning Notification and Billing: After the FINAL session in this auction is complete, Heritage will send e-mail and snail mail invoices. This process normally takes several days. All final auction and invoice information will be supplied by Heritage Auctions, and all other information should be considered preliminary.
