r737 REFORM SCHOOL one-sheet movie poster '39 Beavers, Harlem's Tuff Kids

Date Sold 10/17/2006
Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price.

An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More)

Reform School, the 1939 Leo C. Popkin all-black African American prison juvenile delinquent crime comedy starring Louise Beavers, Harlem's Tuff Kids (a black version of the Dead End Kids!), Reginald Fenderson, Monte Hawley, Eugene Jackson, and an "all colored cast". Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that this all-black movie was released in 1939 by tiny Million Dollar Pictures, a maker of all-black cast movies. It appears that in the early 1940s (but perhaps as late as 1946) that Million Dollar re-released the movie as "Prison Bait" (by putting a snipe over the original title on original 1939 one-sheets), and that in 1948, Toddy Pictures purchased the rights to this movie, along with many other all-black cast movies, and re-released it under the re-release title "Prison Bait". Posters from the Toddy release are sometimes mistakenly sold as first release, and posters and lobby cards from the first 1939 release are extremely rare!

Condition: good. Note that the poster measures 26" x 41". It appears that it has had some of its left blank border trimmed off. It also has a large title change snipe, with the re-release title, "Prison Bait" (apparently this poster was used for a re-release of the movie, but it is definitely an original one-sheet from 1939).
