Note that this movie was originally intended to be released in the U.S. with the title "Down Went McGinty", but at the last minute was changed to "The Great McGinty" (it was SO "last minute" that U.S. one-sheet posters were actually printed with "Down Went McGinty" on them, and giant snipes were glued over that area)! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that these are from a wonderful collection of photos (most measure 3.5x5.25, but some measure slightly smaller) that were taken by a man who worked at a large movie theater in the late 1930s and early 1940s. He created wonderful theater fronts and homemade posters (some that were displayed outside the theater and some inside the theater), and after he finished making his displays, he would take a picture of each and then he put them in a scrapbook. We have auctioned two groups of photos from this wonderful scrapbook, in single auctions. Now we are offering seven sets (in seven separate auctions) of between two and six photos each from the same scrapbook (sadly we are coming to the end of these!) It is very rare to find photos of original theater fronts and local theater displays from this time period! Condition: very good. The photos were stapled to an album page, and there are staple holes in the corners (see our images). Learn More about condition grades
