An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Australian One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Gone to The Dogs, the 1939 Ken G. Hall Australian canine dog greyhound racing racetrack gambling slapstick science fiction fantasy comedy (about a man who works at a zoo and he invents a potion that makes animals move very fast, and he gives it to his pet greyhound, who then starts winning every race, and criminals try to steal his dog and his invention) starring George Wallace, Lois Green, John Dobbie, John Fleeting, Alec Kellaway, Letty Craydon, Ronald Whelan, and Hughie the Dog. Note that George Wallace was one of the most successful Australian comics ever! He started on stage in the 1920s and only appeared in a small number of films (three between 1932 and 1934, and two in 1938 and 1939), but he also appeared on radio, and he was one of the best loved comedians in Australia for decades, and is credited with inspiring many of the top Australian comedians of recent years. His son, also named George Wallace, was a very successful comedian in his own right. Artist: Frank Tyler Important Added Info: Note that this is a "country of origin" poster for this Australian movie! Note that this Australian one-sheet measures 30" x 40". It seems likely that the sizes of one-sheets did not become standardized until some point after this time (although we have seen earlier Australian one-sheets that measured 27" x 40").
