An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style A One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

The Palm Beach Story, the classic 1942 Preston Sturges Florida screwball romantic love triangle comedy ("What a life for a runaway wife!"; perhaps Sturges' best; about a husband and wife who pretend they are not married so that the wife can romance a millionaire, and the millionaire's sister romances the husband, and things get extremely confused, and extremely funny!; this is one of Preston Sturges' best movies, and a highlight is the scene where Colbert and McCrea try to keep from getting back together, but Vallee unwittingly causes that to happen with his wonderful rendition of "Goodnight Sweetheart") starring Claudette Colbert, Joel McCrea, Mary Astor, Rudy Vallee, William Demarest, and Monte Blue. Note that Preston Sturges wanted this movie called "Is Marriage Necessary?", but the Production Code Office vetoed that!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that first release movie paper from this classic Preston Sturges movie is extremely rare (perhaps because it was released during World War II, when there were paper shortages). We have never before auctioned this one-sheet!

Condition: very good. The poster was lightly folded in half an extra time. There was tiny separation at the crossfolds and small separation at the ends of a few folds. It had tiny pinholes in the corners. Otherwise, the poster is in pretty nice condition!
