And what looks like romantic trouble ahead!"; "Music by Harry Warren"; "Lyrics by Ira Gershwin") starring Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers (in the title roles as Josh and Dinah Barkley), Oscar Levant, Billie Burke, Gale Robbins, Jacques Francois, George Zucco, and Clinton Sundberg. Note that this was the last of the ten wonderful movies that Astaire and Rogers made together (they made nine of them between 1933 and 1939, and then ten years later, they made this final movie). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. The poster had minor wear on the foldlines and in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. At some point after the poster was linenbacked, it became water stained in several parts of the right border, just extending into the edge of the black background in a few places. This is not very noticeable, but it has stained the linen and the border of the poster, and it has made the linen stiff in some places. If I owned the poster, I would surely have it removed from this linen and re-backed, after which it will look fantastic, and should still have very little restoration. Note that the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
