Note that this was one of the best of the Mickey Rooney/Judy Garland pairings, directed by Busby Berkeley, and with musical support from Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra!

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this insert, and that was 9 years ago. The buyer of that poster had it linenbacked and has now reconsigned it to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair. The poster had faded and yellowed with age and had become somewhat brittle. There was much separation along the foldlines and some tattering and small paper loss around the edges and there are pieces of masking tape, or remnants of tape, on the back of the poster along all of the edges and foldlines. There were some stains scattered throughout the poster (mostly at upper center in the stars' images). Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Please consider all of the above before bidding on this rare poster.
