An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More)

Hot Heels (also released as "Painting the Town", which was the working title, but apparently only a few posters were produced with that title, although it was released outside the U.S. in that way), the 1927 William James Craft silent vaudeville stage acting horse racing sports gambling romantic crime slapstick comedy ("The picture of 1,000 laughs!"; "Story by Harry O. Hoyt"; a wacky story of the manager of a small town hotel who falls for a pretty dancer who is there with her stranded troupe of vaudevillians, and he sells his hotel so that he can bankroll them, but nothing goes right, but fortunately, they have a horse they use in their act that they enter into a race, which wins, and the man marries the dancer) starring Glenn Tryon, Patsy Ruth Miller, Eileen Sedgwick, James Bradbury Sr., and Ted Sloan. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist.

Important Added Info: Note that first release 1928 movie posters from this movie are incredibly rare. We have only auctioned even an Australian daybill and never any U.S. movie paper of any kind from this movie until we received this insert! Note that this poster is very old and fragile, and attempting to roll it would surely damage it. Therefore we will only send it in a very large flat package. Please bear that extra shipping cost in mind BEFORE placing a bid on this poster!

Note that this item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package. If it is a size that might ordinarily be rolled in a tube (like a half-sheet), the reason it is in this auction is specifically because we feel it either CAN'T be rolled or because we feel it would be a mistake to roll it, because it might well damage the item. In the case of the few items that could be rolled, we will roll the item in a tube if the new owner insists, but only if they accept that they can't return the item if it is damaged from being rolled. So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it.

Condition: good. The poster was never folded. It has darkened and there are pinholes, stains, tears, and small paper loss scattered around the edges. There is an 8" horizontal separation 3" from the bottom of the poster, with a vertical separation at the left end of it, which caused that section to be separated from the rest of the poster, and there is tape on the back of that area. There is a 2" tear above it in the right border that is not taped (see our image).
