An Original Vintage Theatrical Kraftbacked Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) 23 1/2 Hours Leave, the 1937 John G. Blystone military gambling comedy ("Edward L. Alperson presents the Mary Roberts Rinehart Saturday Evening Post story"; about a World War I soldier who has made a fortune by making wacky bets with his fellow soldiers, and then collecting on them, and he bets them that he can get married during a leave that is under a day long, but he runs into great difficulties) starring James Ellison, Terry Walker, Morgan Hill, Arthur Lake, and Ward Bond. Note that this movie is a remake of a silent movie from 1919 (with the same name). But there is a fascinating additional story about that! The 1919 movie was made by Thomas H. Ince, and starred Douglas MacLean, who became a star from playing that role. After Mr. Ince died, Douglas MacLean bought the rights to the movie from Mr. Ince's estate, because it had so much meaning to his career. But then, 18 years later, he saw young actor James Ellison in Cecil B. DeMille's "The Plainsman" and decided to produce a remake of this movie himself, starring Ellison, in the hopes it would do for Ellison what it had done for him.

Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been kraftbacked, which means it was backed onto a brown paper soon after it was printed (this process is called "kraft-backing", and posters with it are called "kraft-backed"). One could have it professionally removed from the kraft paper and linenbacked, and it would look great! Condition: fair. The poster is kraftbacked (see above). It has slight discoloration scattered in some areas from exposure to moisture, fold separation (partially repaired with tape from the back) and other defects that can be clearly seen in our super-sized image.
