Auction History Result 9w464 HIGHER & HIGHER insert '43 super young Frank Sinatra, Michele Morgan, Jack Haley Date Sold 8/5/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Higher and Higher, the 1943 Tim Whelan mistaken identity romantic musical comedy ("The Sinatra Show"; "The voice that's Thrilling The World teamed with a half dozen popular top-flight comedians in a glittering, glorious musical show - chock full of romance with haunting whistleable songs, dances, laughs!"; about a rich man who goes broke and can't pay his large staff, and they love him, so they come up with a harebrained scheme where one of them impersonates the formerly rich man's daughter to find a wealthy husband who can pay off their boss' debts) starring Michele Morgan, Jack Haley, Frank Sinatra (extremely young in this role), Leon Errol, Marcy McGuire, Paul Hartman, Grace Hartman, Barbara Hale, Dooley Wilson, Victor Borge, Mel Torme (just 18 years old, and in his first movie!), and Ivory Scott. Note that this was based on a Rodgers & Hart musical, which was a rare failure for them. RKO bought the rights, but then scrapped almost all the songs, and reshaped it as a vehicle for the hottest singer to come along in a decade, Frank Sinatra, who was making his feature film debut. The movie was billed as "The Sinatra Show", even though he had third billing! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 insert posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 insert posters (note that most post-1970 inserts were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those inserts). Condition: fair. There are pen and pencil marks throughout Sinatra's image extending into the credits area at center and someone has attempted to erase these marks leaving lightened areas in their place. The poster has faded somewhat with age. There is a 4" tear in the upper left edge and there are several smaller tears and some areas of tattering and small paper loss around the edges of the poster (some repaired with tape from the back). There are some smudges and scuffs and minor creases throughout the poster (more so around the edges). Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects!
