Van Dyke romantic detective crime mystery comedy sequel ("All new! Their greatest laugh hit!"; "Their merriest hit! Mr. and Mrs. Thin Man have a B-A-B-Y!"; based on Dashiell Hammett's "The Farewell Murder"; the third of the very popular "Thin Man" movies; about Nick and Nora being contacted by a colonel who has been receiving threats from a man out of his past, and when the colonel is found murdered, the man is the obvious suspect, but Nick thinks it is too obvious and figures out who the real murderer is, while juggling their new baby, Nick Jr.) starring William Powell (as Nick Charles), Myrna Loy (as Nora Charles), Virginia Grey, Otto Kruger, C.

Important Added Info: Note that, for unknown reasons, posters from this third Thin Man movie from 1939 are just as scarce, if not more scarce than the posters from the first two entries in the series from 1934 and 1936! This is the very first time we have auctioned this one-sheet, and previously, we have only auctioned an insert and two window cards, and no other first release U.S. posters. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had many creases, smudges, and small stains scattered throughout, but it only had minor wear on the foldlines and in the borders. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. Some restorer mounted it onto a thick linen and did pretty nice restoration of the above defects. But after it was backed, it was very roughly handled, and there is now a horizontal crease across the lower part of the image (both in the poster and in the linen) and there are also many creases in the 6" of the image above that, running from the top of the stars' faces down to their shoulders. If I owned this really cool and super scarce poster, I would surely immediately send it to a talented restorer and have it removed from the backing and properly re-backed, after which it will look great, but bear this in mind (and look at our super-sized image) before placing a bid on this poster.
