An Undated (probably 1950s) Re-Release Theatrical Folded Military One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Going My Way, the classic 1944 Leo McCarey (winner of the Best Director Academy Award for this film) Catholic Church musical religious comedy (winner of the Best Picture Academy Award; about a brash young priest who is sent to a parish run by a gruff old priest, and he is supposed to replace him, but instead stays and solves all of the parish's problems while acting as the old priest's subordinate; the movie has one of the handful of greatest movie endings of all time!) starring Bing Crosby (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film; as Father O'Malley), Barry Fitzgerald (winner of the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film; the only person to ever be nominated for both Best Supporting Actor and Best Actor Academy Awards for the same performance; as Father Fitzgibbon), Frank McHugh, James Brown, Jean Heather, Gene Lockhart, Porter Hall, Fortunio Bonanova, Rise Stevens ("Famous Contralto of Metropolitan Opera Association"; note that her name is written with an umlaut over the "e" in her first name; her father was Norwegian, and her name is properly pronounced "REE-za", but most people have long forgotten that and pronounce it is as "rise" as in "sunrise"!), Stanley Clements, Carl 'Alfalfa' Switzer, and Adeline De Walt Reynolds (she didn't say a word in the movie, and is uncredited, but she plays Father Fitzgibbon's mother, and she is in one of the most memorable Hollywood endings of all time!; interestingly, she did not begin her acting career until 1940, when she was 78 years old, and continued acting for 20 years, last performing in 1960, when she was 98 years old!) 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: This is a military one-sheet (that we have ever auctioned before). Military one-sheets were printed at the same time as the regular U.S. one-sheets when the movie was first released. They were made to be used on U.S. military installations. Sometimes the poster has small writing at the bottom that says "For Distribution and Use at U.S. Military Establishments Only", and sometimes they just have "Litho in U.S.A." or "Printed in U.S.A." in small letters in the lower right or lower left (most often, the ones that were used in the 1950s in the Korean War have "Litho in U.S.A.", and the ones that were used in the 1960s in the Vietnam War have "Printed in U.S.A.). This is one of the posters that says "Litho in U.S.". Condition: good to very good. The poster has some spotty slight discoloration in the lower half (mostly in the lower quarter). This is the kind of poster that responds really well to restoration. It is likely that much or most of the slight discoloration can be removed chemically, and after proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
