Casablanca Appraisal

Framed Casablanca Movie Poster Print

This item is a framed reproduction of a classic theatrical poster for the 1942 Warner Bros. film 'Casablanca'. The poster features the iconic central portrait of Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman in a painted, illustrative style characteristic of early 1940s cinema advertising. The color palette is dominated by warm sepia and yellow tones in the character portraits, contrasted with a hazy lavender-purple background. Notable typography includes the film title 'Casablanca' in a bold, red stylized script at the bottom, and the stars' surnames—BOGART, BERGMAN, HENREID—in block orange lettering at the top right. Smaller text credits Claude Rains, Sydney Greenstreet, and director Michael Curtiz. The print is housed in a modern, streamlined black composite or wooden frame with a white rectangular mat that provides a clean border. While the image replicates the 1940s aesthetic, the vibrancy of the colors and the pristine lack of horizontal or vertical fold lines (typical of original theatrical 'one-sheet' posters of that era) suggest this is a modern, high-quality decorative reproduction rather than an original vintage lithograph. The condition of the print appears excellent with no visible foxing, water damage, or fading, though there is a slight glare on the protective glass or acrylic glazing. The frame shows no significant scuffs or corner separations, indicating it is likely a contemporary decor piece designed for residential or commercial wall art.
