An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Forty by Sixty Movie Poster (40x60; measures 40" x 60" [102 x 152 cm]) (Learn More) Letter of Introduction, the 1938 John M. Stahl family relationship father/daughter comedy melodrama ("Introducing... a truly great picture"; "Based on an original story by Bernice Boone"; about an older star actor who learns through a letter from his long ago ex-wife that he has an adult daughter he never met, and he starts a relationship with her, but he is reluctant to reveal their true relationship, which causes problems for him and his girlfriend, and his daughter and her boyfriend) starring Adolphe Menjou, Andrea Leeds, Edgar Bergen and "Charlie McCarthy" (with Mortimer Snerd), George Murphy, Rita Johnson, Ann Sheridan, Eve Arden, and Ernest Cossart. Note that Edgar Bergen played a ventriloquist friend of the long lost daughter, which should have been a pretty minor role, because it had nothing to do with the plot, but they provided all of the comedy in this movie, and they were played up very strongly in the advertising, especially Charlie McCarthy!

Also, note that 40x60 posters (and 30x40 posters) are generally associated with the 1950s and 1960s, but they were actually made for almost all movies of the 1930s and 1940s as well! But they cost far more than the one-sheets and three-sheets (because they are printed on a higher quality paper stock and rolled and not folded), so it is likely that very few were ordered by theaters, and almost none of them survive from ANY movies from before World War II. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was never folded. It had some tears and tiny paper loss in the left and right borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
