Up to their high hats in hilarity!"; "They take PARK AVENOO LAFF by LAFF... and give you the LOWDOWN on HIGH SOCIETY!"; "Those laff-clowns are doing the town!") starring The Bowery Boys (billed as "Leo Gorcey, Huntz Hall, and The Bowery Boys"), Amanda Blake, Bernard Gorcey (as Louie Dambrowski), and David Gorcey. Note that Bernard Gorcey was star Leo Gorcey's father, and he played Louie, the owner of the Sweet Shop, where the boys frequently hung out, and Louie was often involved in slapstick gags, and many times Leo Gorcey would be tormenting or slapping his own father! 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 30x40 is a silkscreen printed poster with an actual black & white photo which has neatly been "tipped in" (glued to the lower left corner of the poster). This is how almost all 30x40s were made at this time! Paper banners were also commonly made in this way at that time, and it makes for a striking poster, and few people would realize that it is not printed on a single piece, unless they examine the poster closely. Note that the silkscreen portions of this poster usually pick up scuff marks far more easily than other posters of this period (this was caused by the method of silkscreen printing, and is very common on these posters, and is not considered a major defect, unless it is very noticeable or distracting). Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
