Note that this is an almost completely forgotten 1930s musical with great music by Jerome Kern. Its plot is incredibly familiar, and it borrows heavily from many classic movies of the 1930s! 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: Note that this is a rare "pre-War" Belgian poster. Prior to World War II, Belgian posters were much larger than the ones from after the war, and they are extremely rare (because during WWII, there was a massive paper shortage in Belgium, and they took virtually every poster and map, and printed new posters on the backs of them!). Also 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. The poster is somewhat brittle and there is much separation and some tattering and tiny paper loss along the foldlines and edges. There are brown paper tape repairs on the back of the poster at the crossfold at center and at the ends of the vertical fold and middle horizontal fold. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition and its colors are still vibrant and after restoration it will display quite nicely! Learn More about condition grades
