An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 18" [36 x 46 cm]) (Learn More)

Down Among the Sheltering Palms, the 1953 Edmund Goulding tropical island romantic military musical comedy ("Based on a Story by Edward Hope"; "8 Great Songs") starring William Lundigan, Jane Greer, Mitzi Gaynor, David Wayne, Gloria De Haven, Gene Lockhart, Jack Paar, Alvin Greenman, Billy Gilbert, and Henry Kulky. Note that this movie was filmed in 1951, and movie paper was prepared for its release in that year (with a 1951 NSS number), but the movie was delayed and not released until 1953, at which time new movie paper was created with 1953 NSS numbers. Given that this movie bears a striking resemblance to "South Pacific" (it combines plot elements of that play with others from "Teahouse of the August Moon"), which had not yet been filmed, but which was a hit Broadway musical in 1951, it seems likely that the release of this movie was delayed because of litigation. If anyone knows more about the delay of the release of this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here.no.

Important Added Info: The window card originally had a blank top that was partially trimmed off (this was commonly done with window cards, when the top had been left blank, or when someone had hand-scrawled play date information in that area). Most collectors do not consider it to be a significant defect at all, since only blank white paper is lost, and the window card becomes easier to frame. Also note that the window card was folded down the center at one time. Because it would not fit in our standard sized package even if it were re-folded, we don't want to re-fold the window card prior to mailing, and we believe that re-folding the window card would lessen its condition (we never roll window cards into a tube). If you specifically request it, we will re-fold this window card, but you will not be able to return it.

Condition: good.
