An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 28" x 41") (Learn More)

Laughing at Life, the 1933 Ford Beebe South America adventure melodrama (about a gun running mercenary soldier of fortune who travels the world; he ends up in South America hired by revolutionaries who plan to kill him after he helps them, and meanwhile, he runs into his long lost son, who has ended up in the same profession that he is in!) starring Victor McLaglen, Conchita Montenegro, William 'Stage' Boyd, Lois Wilson, Henry B. Walthall, Regis Toomey, Ruth Hall, Guinn 'Big Boy' Williams, and Pat J. O'Brien (not THE Pat O'Brien who was part of the "Irish Mafia" with Cagney and McHugh, but another actor who appeared in 17 films between 1921 and 1941). Note that this movie is completely forgotten today, and movie paper on it is also incredibly rare. Reading the above plot summary, it seems like a really interesting movie that would be worth checking out!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this one-sheet measures 28" x 41". Please do not bid on it thinking that it is 27" x 41". Also note that this poster is not a studio-issued poster. The company that printed this poster is unknown but there were many companies in the 1930s that printed alternate posters for use by theaters. Sometimes those posters were less expensive than the regular studio posters, and they were also much in demand when a theater needed posters in a hurry, for no theater wanted to show movies without displaying posters!

Condition: good. There is tattering and some paper loss along the foldlines and around the edges as well as creases throughout the poster from it being oddly folded.
