An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Japanese "B2" Movie Poster (measures 20 1/4" x 28 5/8" [51 x 73 cm]) (Learn More) Merton of the Movies, the 1947 Robert Alton Los Angeles Hollywood California romantic movie acting comedy ("Red Skelton's Howling Hit about Hollywood!"; "Based on the novel by Harry Leon Wilson and the Play by George S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly") starring Red Skelton (in the title role as Merton), Virginia O'Brien, Leon Ames, Gloria Grahame, Charles D. Brown, and Alan Mowbray 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 is an extremely rare poster. We have only auctioned one in all our years of auctioning and that was in 2008! Note also that, immediately after World War II, the U.S. occupied Japan and part of Germany, and many American movies were shown in both countries between 1945 and the end of the occupation. Most of the Japanese posters we have seen from that period and many of the German posters and programs from the same period have a "Motion Picture Export Association" (MPEA) circular printed logo on the poster or program, and apparently this was a program run in conjunction with the U.S. government. Since there were many U.S. servicemen in Japan and Germany at this time, many of these posters and programs have the title written in both Japanese (or German) and in English. Condition: good to very good. There is a very light horizontal crease across the poster at upper and lower center from it being stored with posters that were tri-folded and there is some slight discoloration on portions of those waves. It is otherwise in generally nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
