Note that the IMDb claims the title of this movie is "Doughboys". However, all the advertising we have seen from the first release of the movie clearly says "Dough Boys", so we think the IMDb is simply wrong. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good to fine. 1/2" of separation at each crossfold (with slight paper loss at the bottom crossfold); extra crease alongside the vertical foldline running from Keaton's eyebrow to the bottom crossfold; 3" tear in the bottom middle of the poster running into the neck of Keaton's uniform; pinholes and tiny paper loss (caused by rough removal of the pins) in each blank corner; a single pinhole in the extreme top right corner of the image; The above is truly nitpicking! The poster is in really nice unrestored condition (there is not a piece of tape anywhere on it), and its defects are extremely minor. The minor defects would completely vanish if it were linenbacked and the poster would look wonderful! Learn More about condition grades
