THIS LAND IS MINE

Original Belgian 18 1/4 inch x 14 1/2 inch Poster for the 1943 Jean Renoir Wartime Drama THIS LAND IS MINE starring Charles Laughton, Maureen O’Hara, George Sanders, Walter Slezak, Kent Smith, Una O’Connor and George Coulouris.

This Land Is Mine is set in the midst of World War II, in an unspecified country in German-occupied Europe that is clearly France. Laughton plays Albert Lory, a cowardly school teacher in a town “somewhere in Europe” who is drawn into advocating resistance through his love of his country and of his fellow teacher Louise Martin, portrayed by O’Hara.

The film is one of the more acclaimed of the propaganda-tinged war films of the era.

The poster is in very good folded condition with 2 tax stamps in the bottom right corner and a piece of surface paper loss in the top right corner. As with many vintage Belgian posters the top border has been trimmed off.
