An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

Louisiana Purchase, the 1941 Irving Cummings political corruption musical comedy ("The greatest musical comedy ever filmed in Technicolor!"; "The greatest musical comedy ever filmed with 100 Louisiana lovelies!"; "Based on the Musical Comedy by Morrie Ryskind From a small story by B.G. De Sylva"; "Music and Lyrics by Irving Berlin"; "From a story by B.G. De Sylva"; about a naive man who is picked by corrupt Louisiana politicians to take the fall for crimes they've committed) starring Bob Hope, Vera Zorina, Victor Moore, Irene Bordoni, Dona Drake, Raymond Walburn, and "Those Louisiana Lovelies - The Cream of the Crop!" (referred to as "The 13 Louisiana Belles" in other publicity). Note that Paramount was afraid of lawsuits from real life Louisiana politicians, so they made significant changes from the Broadway play the movie was based on, and they even had many references in the movie to the fact that the "Louisiana" referred to was a mythical place, and not the actual Louisiana!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Condition: good. The poster is pretty heavily rippled throughout and it has some scuffs, smudges and a few tears at center, with some pinholes and tears of varying lengths around the edges (partially repaired with tape from the back). After proper restoration the poster will display well (despite the defects it is still pretty colorful and "all there), but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
