A 1951 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Rosie the Riveter, the 1944 Joseph Santley World War II (WWII) Home Front women-working-while-their-husbands-were-at-war musical comedy ("Based on the Saturday Evening Post Story 'Room For Two' by Dorothy Curnow Handley") starring Jane Frazee (in the title role as Rosie), Frank Albertson, Barbara Jo Allen (billed as "Vera Vague"), Frank Jenks, Lloyd Corrigan, Maude Eburne, Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer, and Arthur Loft. If you don't know what this is about, during World War II, many women on the Home Front were taking jobs that traditionally had been men's, including working in factories (because almost all the able bodied men were in the service). Women even did jobs like riveting, but we highly doubt they did them while dressed like the woman on the first release one-sheet for this movie! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that almost anyone would surely think this was certainly the first release window card from 1944, but we have a strong belief it is actually a 1951 re-release! Why? Because of two reasons. First, because it says "The Pin-Ups of 1944", which is NOT on any of the 1944 posters, and which makes more sense to be on a re-release, and second because it has an artwork image at lower left that is not on the 1944 posters, but which IS on the 1951 re-release one-sheet. However, there is strong information going the other way as well, because someone taped a pressbook ad to the back of the window card advertising the 1943 movie "Riding High", and that ad seems to surely be from 1943 or 1944, so it would seem unlikely it would have been attached to the back of a 1951 re-release window card! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good to very good. There are some tiny dot stains around the edges and a few scattered in the image. Someone attached a pressbook page for another movie to the back of the card with tape , but it does not affect the front. Learn More about condition grades
