    Belgian Original Release Movie Poster -
    Mr. Smith Goes To Washington (1939),
    James Stewart, Jean Arthur, Claude Rains, Edward Arnold, Beulah Bondi, Frank Capra, Classic Political Comedy-Drama
    Next up is this wonderful original Belgian movie poster from the first release of Frank Capra's classic political comedy/drama,
    Mr. Smith Goes To Washington
    . Starring Jimmy Stewart, Jean Arthur, Claude Rains and Edward Arnold in a story about a young and somewhat naive U.S. senator who fights political corruption, this film was nominated for 11 Academy Awards. From what I understand, this poster is from the original release of the film in Belgium. It was most likely released shortly after the war in Europe (1946 or 1947) since in is printed on the back of an ordnance map and in the smaller post-war format to conserve paper. I have seen a few other examples of this poster come up for auction in the past and they were all printed on the back of a map of some kind. This particular poster may have once been owned by a Spanish collector since the Spanish language title of this film is written in pencil on the back. This once folded poster is in great condition for its age with very strong paper and basically no defects except for some overall yellowing. It rarely comes up for sale or auction and would make a great addition to anyone's classic movie poster collection.
