Leonard World War II (WWII) Navy Naval sailor romantic military action thriller ("The mightiest Naval drama of all time!"; "Based on the story by Capt. Harvey Haislip, U.S.N. and R.C. Sherriff"; "Suggested by 'Cargo of Innocence' by Laurence Kirk") starring Robert Taylor, Brian Donlevy, Charles Laughton, Walter Brennan, Marilyn Maxwell, Henry O'Neill, Marta Linden, Hobart Cavanaugh, and Byron Foulger NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Jacques Kapralik Important Added Info: Note that from the 1920s on, studios would create elaborate trade ads, often in full color, and often using the finest artists of the day. They would run these ads in their studio yearbooks and exhibitor magazines, and they would also print those trade ads separately and mail them individually to theater owners, trying to get them to book that specific movie. Sometimes those books and magazines are separated and the ads, which now greatly resemble the individually printed trade ads, are sold individually. The trade ad offered here was printed individually and sent to theaters as a promotion for this movie (it has the Kapralik art on the front and information about the movie and a photo from the movie on the back). It can be framed and displayed. Note that Jacques Kapralik was one of the two main caricature artists who worked for MGM from the 1930s to the 1950s (the other was of course Al Hirschfeld). His art was created in a most unusual way! He would create actual collages out of pieces of paper, and then they would be photographed (sometimes his collages were 3-dimensional!). His artwork is very distinctive and immediately recognizable. His caricature art promoted top MGM movies of the 1940s including: Silk Stockings, Designing Woman, Best Foot Forward, Presenting Lily Mars, and Two-Faced Woman, among many others!
