Auction History Result 6s085 OUR RUSSIAN ALLY linen 1sh '42 WWII, World in Action newsreel, when we loved the Soviets! Date Sold 12/4/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27 1/2" x 41" [70 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Our Russian Ally, the 1942 World in Action World War II (WWII) newsreel ("The complete, sensational, story of America's first stop on the road to Berlin!"; "Extra! The World in Action"; "Revealing the power that staggered the world!"). This poster is especially ironic, because just a few short years later, Russia became "our" greatest enemy! Note that "The World in Action" was a series of propaganda films created during World War II, and distributed to movie theaters by United Artists. We have had posters from five of these, but there may have been a few (or many) more. Each of the movies was designed to increase patriotism among the Allies. The five posters from this series we have had are "The Balkan Powder Keg", "The Invasion of North Africa", "New Soldiers Are Tough", "Our Russian Ally" (ironic, because just a few short years later, Russia would become our number one enemy!), and "The Mask of Nippon" (a virulently anti-Japanese movie). If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this one-sheet measures 27 1/2" x 41" [70 x 104 cm]. What IS linenbacking?
