McGann romantic love triangle newspaper journalism screwball comedy ("Bring your own soup! We'll furnish the nuts!"; about the manager of a newspaper who is an eccentric nitwit, and his sister is the brains behind running the company, and the editor is secretly in love with her, and wants to stop her from marrying someone else) starring Mary Boland, Frank McHugh, Hugh Herbert, Carol Hughes, Mischa Auer, Allen Jenkins, Alan Mowbray, and Teddy Hart 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 was printed by Associated Displays Corporation which was a company based in New York City. Before it was discovered by noted poster dealer/historian Walter Reuben, collectors did not know the name of this company (and thought it to be located in the Midwest), and it is often referred to as the "other company" (and we will continue to refer to it that way, since collectors know it that way). From 1936 to roughly 1941, this company printed its own one-sheets and lobby card sets (and a very few inserts, half-sheets, three-sheets, 40x60s and stills) for three major studio movies (Warner Brothers, Paramount and United Artists, but no other studios). The items almost always feature a tiny legal disclaimer and cast credits only. The posters and lobby cards are from the original release of the movie, and almost always have completely different artwork from the regular studio release. They did this by combining elements from different film scenes onto one poster or card. Sometimes, "other company" posters have images that are the equal of those from the regular studio release posters. What IS linenbacking?
