Auction History Result 1t087 FARMER GOES TO TOWN linen 1sh '43 what Australia needs is a darn good laugh, sexy art! Date Sold 9/16/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1943 Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Dad and Dave Come to Town (released in the U.S. in 1943 as "Farmer Goes to Town"), the 1938 Ken G. Hall Australian Bush-farmers-come-to-the-big-city family relationship slapstick comedy sequel ("Cripes! What this country needs is a darn good laugh!") starring Bert Bailey (in the title role as Dad Rudd), Fred MacDonald (in the title role as Dave Rudd), Shirley Ann Richards, Billy Rayes, and Peter Finch (in his first movie role!). Note that this is the third in a series of broad slapstick comedies made in the 1930s by the same team, and starring the same actors in the lead roles. It was not released until 1943 in the U.S. by Astor Pictures, and it was re-edited before release (likely because the Australian accents and the Australian humor did not translate as well to U.S. audiences). 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 the film distributor "Astor Pictures" primarily distributed re-releases of major studios in the 1940s and 1950s, but they DID produce or distribute a few movies on their first release, including this one. This is from the first U.S. release of this movie, and it NOT a re-release! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and minor wear on the foldlines. It had an uneven long jagged tear that started in the middle left and went through the middle of the "F" of "FARMER" and through the hat of the man, and then turned upward into the "G" of "GOES" and then back up through the first "R" of "FARMER". There were some scuffs scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
