Robinson searches for syphilis cure! Date Sold 6/30/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Dr. Ehrlich's Magic Bullet (also released as "The Magic Bullet" and "The Story of Dr. Ehrlich's Magic Bullet"), the 1940 William Dieterle (this is one of five biographical movies Dieterle directed for Warner Bros) historical biography melodrama (about of Dr. Paul Ehrlich, the doctor who did not consider it immoral to search for a drug that would cure syphilis) starring Edward G. Robinson (in the title role as Dr. Paul Ehrlich), Ruth Gordon (in her second credited movie role!), Otto Kruger, Donald Crisp, Maria Ouspenskaya, Montagu Love, Donald Meek, and Henry O'Neill. Note that the screenplay for this movie was partially written by John Huston, "From an idea by Norman Burnside". Also note that we have seen movie paper from this title under all three titles given above, and it is quite possible that one or two of them are from re-releases only (especially because first release lobby cards from this movie were on a linen finish, typical of Warner Bros. lobby cards in the late 1930s and into the beginning of the 1940s. So if any of the titles are only seen on non-linen cards, then they would be from a re-release only). If anyone can sort this out for us, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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: The poster was placed on to a very thin linen backing shortly after being printed. The purpose was to reinforce the poster, so that it would survive, when it was passed from theater to theater, and when it was put up on walls and taken down. Such posters can be professionally removed from the original linen and placed on to a proper linen backing. I have done this to several such posters, and they end up looking wonderful!

The poster has started to lift from the old linen and there are cracks, creases, and areas of tattering and small paper loss scattered throughout. It seems quite likely that a talented restorer could properly back this poster on new linen and it would display nicely but please do not bid unless you are willing to accept the poster's defects.
