An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) Palmy Days, the 1931 A. Edward Sutherland phony psychic musical comedy farce ("Looks like a million - and costs what it looks like!"; "Remember Girls! If you go beyond the first knuckle, it isn't DUNKING it's swimming"; written by Eddie Cantor) starring Eddie Cantor, Charlotte Greenwood, Barbara Weeks, George Raft (in his fourth credited movie role as a henchman!), Morrie Ryskind, David Freeman, Betty Grable, and Paulette Goddard (Grable and Goddard were two of the many "Goldwyn Girls"!) 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 poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Condition: good. The poster had pinholes, creases, tears, and some areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster and some creases, smudges, scuffs, and a few pinholes scattered throughout the image. There were creases and tears across the top center of the image, including several in Cantor's forehead and hair. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was well backed by a talented restorer, who did not touch up many of the faint smudges and scuffs (and I agree with that decision, because to do so would have required lots of paint, which would have given the poster a "heavily restored" look, and I don't feel the smudges and scuffs are all that distracting [but they are somewhat noticeable, especially in Cantor's forehead], and they help establish that this is a genuine 78 year-old original poster!). Obviously, one would prefer to find an example of this window card that had no defects or restoration, but I do not know if another example of this card exists (or if it does, if the owner would consider parting with it!). This card has had expert restoration and displays nicely. Learn More about condition grades
