A 1942 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) S.S. Van Dine's The Kennel Murder Case, the 1933 Michael Curtiz detective mystery crime murder thriller starring William Powell (billed as "William Powell returns as Philo Vance in S.S. Van Dine's The Kennel Murder Case"), Mary Astor, Eugene Pallette, Ralph Morgan, Helen Vinson, Jack La Rue, Paul Cavanagh, Robert McWade, Charles C. Wilson, Arthur Hohl, and Robert Barrat. Note that William Powell first played Philo Vance in 1929's "The Canary Murder Case" and after the character proved very popular, he followed it the next year with "The Greene Murder Case", after which Basil Rathbone took over the role that same year in "The Bishop Murder Case". After Powell played Vance again in "The Benson Murder Case" (which was also made in a Spanish language version with an entirely different case), he then played him one more time in "The Kennel Murder Case" in 1933, but the character also appeared in ten more movies between 1934 and 1947, with other actors in the lead roles.

It now looks great, and most dealers would describe it as "fine (or mint) on linen". We have noted the defects that were restored below (and feel everyone should always do this!). Many collectors would not be aware of the restoration this poster has had unless it was specifically shown to them! Condition: very good. The poster had many small tears and tiny paper loss down the vertical fold, but these have been restored and are now only noticeable on close inspection. Otherwise, there were only pinholes in the corners, and minor restoration on the other f. Most of the linenbacked posters we sell were restored by the finest professionals. An expertly linenbacked poster will often appear "mint", as its defects have been made to "vanish". We are the only seller we are aware of who always tries to describe the condition of the poster prior to being linenbacked, so you are fully aware of what restoration was performed.
