An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 28" x 42" [71 x 107 cm]) (Learn More) Irving Berlin's White Christmas, the classic 1954 Michael Curtiz post-World War II sisters holiday singing-and-dancing romantic musical (with classic "Lyrics and music by Irving Berlin"; "The most fabulous music-and-mirth show in motion picture history!"; "Joyous entertainment for every season, any year!!!!") starring Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Rosemary Clooney, Vera-Ellen, and Dean Jagger. Note that this was the first motion picture to be filmed in VistaVision! Also note that the title song "White Christmas" was first introduced in 1942 in the Fred Astaire/Bing Crosby movie "Holiday Inn", and it proved to be so popular that this movie was made, utilizing part of the plot of that earlier film, and reusing this song, which was now over a decade old, but it proved to be an even greater hit!

Important Added Info: Note that this one-sheet measures 28" x 42", which is the size it was when the studio created it (we have seen several examples where a theater trimmed it to 27" x 41", so that it could fit in a frame). However, this poster was NOT trimmed, and measures its original 28" x 42". Please do not bid on this poster thinking it is 27" x 41". Condition: fair to good. The poster has tape stains, pinholes, tears and small paper loss around the edges. It has surface paper loss at the crossfolds with a semi-circular tear in the left of the middle fold, in Bing Crosby's waist. The top quarter of the vertical foldline has clear tape on the back and there is clear tape on the back of the center 8" of the top horizontal fold. there were pieces of tape on back of the borders that were used to attach the poster to a wall. Obviously this poster can be "rescued" by a talented restorer and will display really well afterwards, but bear the above in mind and look at our super-sized image before bidding.
