Auction History Result 7a0867 YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD linen 1sh 1951 art of Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, Benny, Rochester & more! Date Sold 8/4/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 28" x 41" [71 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) You Can Change the World, the 1951 Leo McCarey patriotic documentary short ("Extra added featurette"; "Here's outstanding entertainment you'll talk about... cheer!"; "Everyone should see and enjoy it!") starring Bing Crosby ("Hear Bing Sing A New Song"), Jack Benny, Bob Hope, Irene Dunne, Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson (billed as "'Rochester'"), Paul Douglas, William Holden, Loretta Young, and Ann Blyth. Note that this movie was produced by The Christophers. They are a Christian inspirational group that was founded in 1945 by Father James Keller. After World War II, the Cold War began with Russia, and that led to both an anti-Communist movement in the U.S., but also some anti-Catholic sentiments, and this group was largely founded to combat that, but mostly by presenting a purely positive view of the Catholic church, through productions such as these. This movie was the result of founder James G. Keller getting director Leo McCarey and a bunch of his former stars together where they made cameo appearances (and Bing sang a new song), but mostly they sat around listening to Father Keller delivering a speech/sermon! The poster for this movie is unusual in that it brings together many different stars who are normally not found together on a poster!

Important Added Info: Note that this one-sheet measures 28" x 41" [71 x 104 cm]. It has a tiny bottom border, so it looks like it could have been printed with another inch at the bottom, but it does not appear to be trimmed at all, and we have seen another example that is exactly the same as this, so we think it was just printed this way. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. The poster was never folded. It had a 4" tear in the top center and some creases and scuffs scattered throughout. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but after it was backed, it acquired staining in the bottom left corner, both in the poster and in the linen, and it also has light staining down the lower left, in both the excess linen and the edge of the poster. Obviously, restoration can be performed, but please bear this in mind before bidding on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
