Auction History Result 5a1071 SECOND CHORUS linen 1/2sh 1940 Paulette Goddard, Fred Astaire, Artie Shaw & His Band, rare! Date Sold 9/3/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 20" x 25 1/2" [51 x 65 cm]) (Learn More) Second Chorus (released in France in 1947 as "Swing Romance"), the 1940 H.C. Potter singing-and-dancing musical romantic comedy (a wacky story of a college student who is in his seventh year, so that he can keep up the carefree college life while working in a band, but then he meets a pretty secretary and falls for her, and when she gets a job in Artie Shaw's band, the student quits college and he and his partner go to New York City to try to join Artie Shaw's band, so he can be with the girl!) starring Fred Astaire, Paulette Goddard, Artie Shaw and His Band, Charles Butterworth, and Burgess Meredith. Note that the plot of this movie was pretty weak, obviously just a vehicle to allow for lots of singing and dancing, but it was made even weaker by having 41 year old Fred Astaire playing a college student! But the movie is still enjoyable and entertaining, and the real life Artie Shaw and his band play themselves! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

The buyer of that poster had it linenbacked and has now reconsigned it to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned! Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 20" x 25 1/2" [51 x 65 cm]. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. Someone trimmed off the blank borders and the poster had creases and tiny bits of surface paper loss on both folds. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
