Original French 47 inch x 63 inch Poster for the 1935 Charles-Félix Tavano Drama SON EXCELLENCE ANTONIN starring André Berley, Raymond Corday, Josette Day, Sylvia Bataille, Jeanne Helbling, Thérèse Kolb and Germaine Reuver.

Antonin, a butler in a restaurant, wins the lottery. There, a few people, including the hotel owner, find ways to exploit his naivete. But Antonin makes him believe that he stole his ticket and thus finds out what everyone thinks of him. Finally, he recognizes his true friends, the little maid he loves, his fellow cooks and a baron.

The poster is in very good folded condition with slight wear.
