Here Comes Mr. Jordan, the 1941 Alexander Hall (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) boxing sports fantasy reincarnation romantic comedy ("The year's big surprise entertainment"; "You will laugh... you will cheer... you will be deeply, strangely stirred!"; "Get set for one of the years greatest comedies!"; "One of the year's greatest comedies!"; "Daring! Different! Delightful!"; "Here comes rich laughter! Here comes warm emotion!"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a boxer who is killed "by mistake", and an angel gives him a new body, because his old one was destroyed; he becomes a rich man, but he doesn't like his new life, and it is complicated by him finding the love of his life, but fortunately, the head angel finds a solution to all his problems) starring Robert Montgomery (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Claude Rains, Evelyn Keyes, James Gleason (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Edward Everett Horton, Rita Johnson, and John Emery. Note that Warren Beatty remade this movie in 1978, very closely following the original plot, but changing boxing to football, and he changed the name to "Heaven Can Wait", which was the name of the source play for this movie (it was not used for this movie, and it was used two years later on a different major 1940s comedy, starring Don Ameche)

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this banner is a silkscreen printed poster with an actual image that has neatly been "tipped in" (glued to the front of the poster at left). This is how many banners were made at this time, and it makes for a striking poster, and few people would realize that it is not printed on a single piece, unless they examine the poster closely. Note that the silkscreen portions of this poster usually pick up scuff marks far more easily than other posters of this period (this was caused by the method of silkscreen printing, and is very common on these posters, and is not considered a major defect, unless it is very noticeable or distracting).

Condition: good to very good. There are some 2" and smaller tears around the edges of the poster that have been repaired with pieces of clear tape from the back and there are large pieces of clear tape on the back around the edges, but they were not put there for any restoration purpose.
