An Undated (probably 1948) Realart Re-release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36") (Learn More) My Little Chickadee, the classic 1940 Edward Cline cowboy western romantic love triangle screwball comedy ("Together for the first time!"; written by W.C. Fields & Mae West) starring Mae West, W.C. Fields, Joseph Calleia, Dick Foran, Donald Meek, Anne Nagel, Fuzzy Knight, Margaret Hamilton, Ruth Donnelly, and Jackie Searl (as the Boy). Note that this was the only movie that these two legends appeared in together, and naturally, it was a battle of wills between them, with each wanting a bigger part (which was intensified because they wrote the script together!). This movie has some of the most legendary comic scenes ever, including Fields in a poker game, "romancing" Mae West, etc. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. The poster had two extra horizontal folds and there were creases and scuffs on all of the foldlines. There were many scuffs and smudges in Mae West's face and figure at top left, and it appears there has been some restoration to the left side of her face. The borders of the poster were tattered. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The person who did the restoration put new blank white paper over all the borders to even out the appearance (but the small writing at the bottom of the poster was not covered over). This is a common technique used by several top restorers. It is done so well that the majority of collectors are not even aware it has been done, and many do not feel it to be a significant detraction (since it is only blank white area). The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see some signs of the restoration. Learn More about condition grades
