An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style A One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

Earl Carroll's Murder at the Vanities, the 1934 Mitchell Leisen musical murder mystery thriller ("Celebrated judge of feminine beauty. He chose from the country's entire beauty crop for the gorgeous girls now featured in Paramount's latest screen offering 'Murder at the Vanities'"; "A Paramount picture with the most beautiful girls in the world"; "Based on the Broadway stage hit by Earl Carroll and Rufus King") starring Carl Brisson (a Danish actor who appeared in a dozen Hollywood, English, and Danish movies, including Hitchcock's "The Ring"), Victor McLaglen, Jack Oakie, Kitty Carlisle, Toby Wing, Barbara Fritchie, and Duke Ellington and His Famous Orchestra. Note that Ann Sheridan made her fourth film appearance in this movie (in this one and the three earlier ones, she played uncredited roles as a beautiful girl, and she was billed under her real name of "Clara Lou Sheridan")! Also note that this movie was set at the real-life Earl Carroll's Vanities, a famous music and dance revue of the time, and a fictional murder takes place at the show. The real-life Earl Carroll chose the girls who appeared in the movie, but did not appear in it himself.

Important Added Info: Note that first release 1934 movie posters from this movie are incredibly rare. We have never sold even a single poster from this movie until we received this one-sheet!

Condition: very good to fine. There are some faint diagonal creases along the top and bottom quarter of the vertical fold and a few tiny pinholes around the edges, with a few faint smudges in the yellow background area. Otherwise, the poster is in really nice condition!
