An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) Hollywood Bound, the 1947 going-to-Hollywood-to-be-a-star-and-defying-the-odds-and-making-good compilation of shorts ("The fascinating story of an exciting blonde who made good in Hollywood") starring Betty Grable, Joy Hodges, Lucille Ball, Jimmy Grier and his Orchestra, Walter Woolf King (billed as "Walter King"), and Gene Austin. Note that this was one of those somewhat sleazy releases that Hollywood is famous for! Betty Grable was a top star in the 1940s, but she had gotten her start appearing in RKO shorts in the mid-1930s, and some enterprising producer bought the rights to three of those (Ferry-Go-Round [1934], A Night at the Biltmore Bowl [1935], and The Spirit of 1976 [1935]), and they packaged them together into what appeared to be a brand new movie! No doubt all the movie fans who were sucked into seeing this were very disappointed! 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 this poster has never been machine folded! Most half-sheet posters were folded once horizontally and once vertically right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded copy of most half-sheets, especially from before 1970! Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
