A 1942 Re-Release Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

S.S. Van Dine's The Kennel Murder Case, the 1933 Michael Curtiz detective mystery crime murder thriller starring William Powell (billed as "William Powell returns as Philo Vance in S.S. Van Dine's The Kennel Murder Case"), Mary Astor, Eugene Pallette, Ralph Morgan, Helen Vinson, Jack La Rue, Paul Cavanagh, Robert McWade, Charles C. Wilson, Arthur Hohl, and Robert Barrat. Note that William Powell first played Philo Vance in 1929's "The Canary Murder Case" and after the character proved very popular, he followed it the next year with "The Greene Murder Case", after which Basil Rathbone took over the role that same year in "The Bishop Murder Case". After Powell played Vance again in "The Benson Murder Case" (which was also made in a Spanish language version with an entirely different case), he then played him one more time in "The Kennel Murder Case" in 1933, but the character also appeared in ten more movies between 1934 and 1947, with other actors in the lead roles.

Important Added Info: Note that posters and lobby cards from this 1942 re-release are often mistakenly sold as being from the original 1933 release, because they are not marked. However, when this movie was first released, it was identified as being a "Vitaphone" movie, but when it was re-released in 1942, it was identified as being a "Warner Bros.-First National Picture". Items from the first 1933 release are unbelievably rare!

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some separation and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of the folds. The top blank border was folded back at one time, and there were some pinholes, small tears, and tiny paper loss in parts of the borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
