GONE WITH THE WIND

Pre-War Belgian (23.5" x 33" )
Fine+ on Linen
MGM, 1940

Before WWII, Belgium produced a larger poster, as seen here. This is a beautiful example of the pre-war poster, and it has the typical blacking out of the MGM logo.

There is a censor bar over the MGM logo and text. There is some crimping on the poster from being stored rolled. Otherwise, there are minimal touch-ups when linen backed.

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).
