Ceiling Zero, the 1936 Howard Hawks veteran military pilot airplane aviation romantic love triangle melodrama ("Ceiling Zero... which means you won't see the ground 'til it hits you!"; "The first great drama of the peacetime aces!"; based on the play by Frank Wead; about pilots at an airline who are friends and rivals in flying and in love, and one of them switches flights with another pilot, and the pilot is killed, and he then feels responsible and takes greater risks) starring James Cagney, Pat O'Brien, June Travis, Stuart Erwin, Barton MacLane, Henry Wadsworth, Martha Tibbetts, and Isabel Jewel. Note that director Howard Hawks (who is billed as "the famous war ace") would revisit many of the plot elements in this movie in his "Only Angels Have Wings", made three years later for Columbia.

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

Condition: fair to good. There are many tape repairs on the back of the poster, mostly on the back of the foldlines, but also on the back of a diagonal tear just to the right of the vertical foldline in the bottom credits area. There is much separation in the right half of the bottom foldline, one of the few foldline areas that did not have tape on the back of it. There are some faint water stains scattered through the poster. Obviously, this great poster has many significant defects but this is the sort of poster that responds really well to professional restoration. It is likely that much or all of the tape and faint water staining can be removed through chemical means, after which the poster will look fantastic! Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored!
