An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked French One-Panel "Grande" Movie Poster (1p; measures 46 1/4" x 61 1/2" [117 x 156 cm]) (Learn More)

Les Pionniers du Rire (literally translates to "The Pioneers of Laughter"), the 1961 compilation comedy movie (with taglines that translate to "1 1/2 hours of mad gaiety"; "All in the same program"; apparently a compilation of comedy shorts by Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Laurel & Hardy, Andy Clyde, and Billy Bevan [one of the better Charlie Chaplin imitators of the time]). We do not know if this was solely a French compilation, or if it also played in other countries, as we can find no references to it anywhere. If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

Artist: Maurice Harfort

Important Added Info: What makes this poster especially notable is that it features artwork of not only Charlie Chaplin, but also Laurel & Hardy AND Buster Keaton. There are other compilation comedy movies that have artwork of these legends together, but this is the best such one we have seen!

Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
