An Undated (probably 1950s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Folded Australian Daybill Movie Poster (db; measures 13 1/4" x 30" [34 x 76 cm]) (Learn More)

Bathing Beauty, the 1944 George Sidney romantic aquatic swimming musical comedy ("M-G-M's mammoth Technicolor musical spectacle!") starring Red Skelton, Esther Williams, Basil Rathbone, Bill Goodwin, Ethel Smith, Jean Porter, Carlos Ramirez, Harry James & His Music Makers, Helen Forrest, Xavier Cugat & His Orchestra, and Lina Romay. Note that this was Esther Williams' first movie that focused on her great athletic swimming ability, and she was basically the star of the movie, even though she was second billed to much bigger star Red Skelton (and she was primarily the focus of all the movie advertising).

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that this poster is an early 1950s re-release. Some R50s daybills have a snipe from the Orpheum theater, and a knowledgeable collector tells us that the theater's phone number on the snipe indicates the poster was created before 1952! Also, note 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. There is a theater snipe glued across the bottom of the poster (the poster was not trimmed and the snipe could surely be removed by a professional restorer, or talented amateur, if one chose to do so). There are creases throughout the poster and there is some tattering around the edges.
