An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Bringing Up Father, the 1946 Edward F. Cline (billed as "Eddie Cline") family relationship married couple comedy ("The biggest howl in history!"; "Based on the original newspaper feature by George McManus"; adapted from the ultra popular King Features comic strip) starring Joe Yule (as Jiggs), Renie Riano (as Maggie), Tim Ryan, June Harrison, George McManus (billed as "and cartoonist George McManus"), Wallace Chadwell, and Tom Kennedy. George McManus was the cartoon genius who started "Bringing Up Father" in 1913. Before that, he had drawn some other newspaper comic strips including a series of "Let George Do It" strips. In 1916, animated cartoons were adapted from "Bringing Up Father", but they were not very successful. In 1924, the Stern Brothers signed to do a series of live action adaptations of the "Let George Do It" cartoons, and they were very successful, spawning a long series, and two years later, there were live action "Bringing Up Father" movies. In 1946, a new series of live action movies started, and it was also popular, spawning several sequels. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: George McManus Important Added Info: Note that this poster features George McManus art of Jiggs & Maggie! Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had pinholes around the edges and some creases, tears, and a couple of tiny areas of paper loss on the foldlines. The poster was in pretty nice condition prior to backing. It was well backed, and looks quite nice! Learn More about condition grades
