An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Swedish Movie Poster (measures 26 3/4" x 39 1/2" [68 x 100 cm]) (Learn More) Palooka (also released as "Joe Palooka" and released in Sweden as "Knockout", where "Palooka" probably was not in their vocabulary!), the 1934 Benjamin Stoloff boxing sports comedy (based on the classic comic strip 'Joe Palooka' drawn by Ham Fisher) starring Jimmy Durante (billed as "Jimmie Durante"), Lupe Velez, Stuart Erwin (in the title role as Joe Palooka), Marjorie Rambeau, Robert Armstrong, Mary Carlisle, William Cagney (older brother of James Cagney; he bore a remarkable resemblance to his famous brother, but after starring in just three movies, he mostly retired from acting and managed his brother's career), and Thelma Todd. What is REALLY cool about this movie is that United Artists hired three great cartoonists to draw special cartoon newspaper ads for this movie, and they were William Steig, Otto Soglow, and Dr. Seuss (long before his books, but he signed his work as Dr. Seuss!). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Moje Important Added Info: Note that the artwork for this poster is signed "Moje". It looks like the work of Swedish poster artist Moje Aslund, but he signed the work we have seen with his full name, so it could well be a different artist with the same first name. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good.
