An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Dancing in the Dark, the 1949 Irving Reis musical romantic comedy ("There's nothing more exciting than... 'Dancing in the Dark'"; "Based on the Play 'The Bandwagon' by George S. Kaufman, Howard Dietz, & Arthur Schwartz"; "Lyrics and Music by Howard Dietz, & Arthur Schwartz"; "Produced by George Jessel") starring William Powell, Mark Stevens, Betsy Drake, Adolphe Menjou, Randy Stuart, Lloyd Corrigan, Hope Emerson, Walter Catlett, Don Beddoe, and Jean Hersholt ("as himself"). Note that just four years later, MGM remade this movie as "The Band Wagon", starring Fred Astaire, Cyd Charisse, Nanette Fabray, and Oscar Levant. It wasn't really an exact remake, and they intended to call it "I Love Louisa". But at the last minute, they decided they really wanted to call it "The Band Wagon", which was the name of the original play this was based on, and even though this movie was not called that, 20th Century-Fox owned the rights to that title, and they charged MGM $10,000 to use it!

The poster had small paper loss at the top crossfold and tiny paper loss at the other two crossfolds. It had separation and slight darkening on parts of the foldlines. It had an NSS stamp on the back of the top center and someone had written the title of the movie to the left of that on the back, and both slightly bled through to the front. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
