An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Swedish Movie Poster (measures 27 1/2" x 39 1/2") (Learn More)

Swing in Harlem, the 1946 black African American jazz music compilation movie presenting clips of the top African American performers of the early 1940s. We are guessing at this by looking at the Swedish poster, but it seems pretty likely because it bills a multitude of the top black performers of the day, few of whom made movies together, so it seems extremely likely that they simply extracted some of their musical performances from movies and "soundies" (short movie clips that were shown on jukebox-like machines and then joined them together). Because we have seen the Swedish poster, we know it was released in at least that country, and it does not seem to have had a U.S. release. The IMDb incorrectly states this is an alternate title for "Swing Fever", but that is likely only because part of that movie was used in this compilation. It could also be the short musical film "Swingtime Jamboree" produced in 1945 (and the performers on the Swedish poster match some of the ones in the short), but we cannot be 100% certain. If anyone knows more about this poster or this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here.
Artist: Gosta Aberg
Important Added Info: 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 to very good. There is some separation and tattering at the crossfolds and there is some discoloration along the horizontal fold at upper left. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition and after linenbacking it will surely display well (although I'm sure many collectors would be happy to display it as is).
