An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Strike Up the Band, the 1940 Busby Berkeley romantic teenage juvenile musical comedy ("The merriest pair on the screen in a great new musical show!") starring Mickey Rooney, Judy Garland, Paul Whiteman and Orchestra, June Preisser, and William Tracy. Note that this was one of the best of the Mickey Rooney/Judy Garland pairings, directed by Busby Berkeley, and with musical support from Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra! Also note that this movie included a surreal fantasy sequence that included fruits and vegetables coming to life, and that sequence was created by Henry Rox, and animated by George Pal (several stills from that have survived, and have been auctioned by eMoviePoster.com!). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a very rare poster! We have only auctioned one other example (that example sold in 2014 and then was linenbacked and reconsigned to us in 2023, so it is the only example we have ever auctioned, and that poster was in "fair" condition and this is example is unbacked and is in much nicer condition!). Condition: good. The poster has discoloration along the right edge (where there are also a few small tears that have been repaired with tape from the back). This has caused some surface paper loss at upper lower right. Fortunately the main image is mostly in pretty nice condition and after proper restoration the very poster will display really well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
