McLeod boxing sports romantic screwball comedy ("He could whip his weight in cream!"; "Based upon the play by Lynn Root and Harry Clork"; this might be Harold Lloyd's best sound movie!; he plays a mild-mannered milkman whose sister is accosted by two men, and he gets in the middle of them, and he ducks their punches so well that they knock each other out; since one is the middleweight boxing champion, and the other his sparring partner, Lloyd is declared a great boxer, and, at a press conference to tell what happened, the men again manage to knock each other out, so the press arrives to Lloyd and the two unconscious men; after many plot twists, during which Lloyd is given set-up fights so he can lose a championship fight to the champ, the movie ends happily!) starring Harold Lloyd, Adolphe Menjou, Verree Teasdale, Helen Mack, William Gargan, and George Barbier NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and just a few tiny bits of paper loss on parts of some folds, with minor border wear. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Note that either the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster, or possibly the owner of the poster chose to carefully trim off the excess, so that the poster would fit in a frame.
