I'm just showing you... What 'YUM-YUM' means!"; "A new heart-note in laughter, bright with that Goldwyn glow!"; "Screen play by Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder"; VERY loosely based on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, with a gangster's showgirl girlfriend taking refuge with seven nerdy professors, and falling in love with one of them) starring Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; as Sugarpuss O'Shea), Oscar Homolka, Henry Travers, Tully Marshall, Dana Andrews, Dan Duryea, S.Z.

Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning! Note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster was folded once horizontally at center, and then lightly folded back at one time a few inches under the upper edge. There is a 2" tear at lower right near the RKO logo and there are a few smaller tears at lower right that only slightly enter the image area, and those tears are repaired with tape from the back. The poster has a few faint smudges around the edges and scuff marks scattered in various areas (mainly in a few portions of Cooper's jacket and pants area.) The ultra-rare insert is otherwise in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
