Auction History Result 6b440 MOUNTAIN RHYTHM WC '42 wild different polo cartoon artwork with Hitler & Hirohito! Date Sold 3/24/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Mountain Rhythm, the 1942 Frank McDonald musical slapstick comedy starring The Weaver Brothers & Elviry (Leon Weaver, Frank Weaver, and June "Elviry" Weaver), Lynn Merrick, Frank M. Thomas, Sally Payne, Dickie Jones, and Joseph Allen Jr. Note that this was a typical 1940s slapstick comedy with the Weaver Brothers buying land in California next to a boys' school, and having trouble with the boys, and the posters are pretty bland. But the poster artist on the window card, Jack Graven (perhaps with or without the studio's approval), made an entirely different graphic showing the Weaver Brothers as polo players wearing patriotic T-shirts, and the polo balls they are hitting have the faces of Adolf Hitler and Emperor Hirohito! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Jack Graven Important Added Info: Note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: fair. The poster is fragile and there is paper loss around the edges. It was partially folded over at a diagonal in the lower part of the artwork and the card has cracked in that area, and has almost completely separated along that fold. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored! Learn More about condition grades
