Important Added Info: Note that this is one of the most beloved musicals of all time (and rightfully so), but it had a pretty uninspired ad campaign! Almost all the posters had a headshot image of Cagney wearing a patriotic hat, and just some background design. There is a style A half-sheet with this same layout. But the style B half-sheet poster has a completely different montage image of the characters and scenes from the movie, with a full-length James Cagney in the middle. The poster is very rare, and we have only previously auctioned it once before (and it sold for $323)! Condition: good to very good. The poster has darkened, typical of Warner Bros. linen half-sheets of this period. There are a few water stains in the lower half of the left blank border. The poster came in contact with water that caused those stains, and also caused the lower left of the image to ripple (it is much more noticeable in our image than it is in person). It has pretty minor wear on both folds and in the borders. One could still display the poster as it is, or one might choose to have restoration performed. Learn More about condition grades
