Auction History Result 6z0575 SWING IN HARLEM Swedish stolpe 1946 Lena Horne & top African American jazz performers, rare! Date Sold 8/1/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Swedish Stolpe (referred to by some as a "Swedish insert") Movie Poster (measures 12 1/2" x 27 1/2" [32 x 70 cm]) (Learn More) Swing in Harlem, the 1946 black African American jazz music compilation movie presenting clips of the top African American performers of the early 1940s. We are guessing at this by looking at the Swedish poster, but it seems pretty likely because it bills a multitude of the top black performers of the day, few of whom made movies together, so it seems extremely likely that they simply extracted some of their musical performances from movies and "soundies" (short movie clips that were shown on jukebox-like machines and then joined them together). Because we have seen the Swedish poster, we know it was released in at least that country, and it does not seem to have had a U.S. release. The IMDb incorrectly states this is an alternate title for "Swing Fever", but that is likely only because part of that movie was used in this compilation. It could also be the short musical film "Swingtime Jamboree" produced in 1945 (and the performers on the Swedish poster match some of the ones in the short), but we cannot be 100% certain. If anyone knows more about this poster or this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only auctioned two examples of this poster before! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. There are light creases scattered in the poster and there is tiny surface paper loss in the "IN" of the title (see our image). It is otherwise in generally nice condition.
