Director Frank Capra remade this film in 1950 as the musical "Riding High", in which he actually used many of the same actors so he wouldn't have to re-shoot any of the big race scenes, which were reused from this film!

Important Added Info: Note that first release one-sheets from this Frank Capra comedy are extremely rare. We have previously auctioned only two examples of the style A one-sheet (and one was 26 years ago!). Until 2014, we had never auctioned this rare style B poster. We auctioned it on December 7, 2014, and it sold for $1,438. The person who bought that poster has re-consigned it, so it is still the only example of this poster we have ever auctioned.

It had the most minor of wear on the foldlines. It had slight darkening and a few very tiny tears around the edges of the blank borders. It had a faint scuff mark in the background just below the image. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
