An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More)

Dr. Ehrlich's Magic Bullet (also released as "The Magic Bullet" and "The Story of Dr. Ehrlich's Magic Bullet"), the 1940 William Dieterle (this is one of five biographical movies Dieterle directed for Warner Bros) historical biography melodrama (about of Dr. Paul Ehrlich, the doctor who did not consider it immoral to search for a drug that would cure syphilis) starring Edward G. Robinson (in the title role as Dr. Paul Ehrlich), Ruth Gordon (in her second credited movie role!), Otto Kruger, Donald Crisp, Maria Ouspenskaya, Montagu Love, Donald Meek, and Henry O'Neill. Note that the screenplay for this movie was partially written by John Huston, "From an idea by Norman Burnside". Also note that we have seen movie paper from this title under all three titles given above, and it is quite possible that one or two of them are from re-releases only (especially because first release lobby cards from this movie were on a linen finish, typical of Warner Bros. lobby cards in the late 1930s and into the beginning of the 1940s. So if any of the titles are only seen on non-linen cards, then they would be from a re-release only). If anyone can sort this out for us, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Condition: fair. There is a jagged tear running from near the middle of the right border up to the top center of the poster (below the first "N" of "ROBINSON"). There is large circular paper loss in the background to the right of Robinson's face and in the bottom left of the first "N" of "ROBINSON". There are pinholes, tears, and areas of paper loss in the corners and there are tears and areas of paper loss in the bottom foldline and in the vertical foldline just above the bottom foldline. The poster is in urgent need of expert professional restoration!
