An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More)

On Moonlight Bay, the 1951 Roy Del Ruth World War I (WWI) Home Front Midwest traditional values romantic musical comedy ("Joy! And Love! And the Joy of lovin! And singing and dancin' and such romancin'! Its Sunlight and Moonlight rolled into One!"; "Another Warner Bros hit!"; "The Lovin'est Musical in Many a Moon!"; "Everything's gay 'On Moonlight Bay'"; "A happy screenful of sun-kissed melody and kiss-by-moonlight romance from Warner Bros.";"With those moonlight bay-bes and bay-eutiful songs! 'Love Ya' and 'Moonlight Bay' and lots more!"; "Another Warner Bros. hit!") starring Doris Day, Gordon MacRae, Billy Gray, Jack C. Smith, Leon Ames, and Rosemary DeCamp. Note that at this time Warner Brothers was looking for movies to make with Doris Day and so they chose to re-make one of their successful "Penrod" movies of the 1930s, but they switched the emphasis from the Penrod character to his tomboy older sister (played by Day)!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets).

Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has faint smudges and some creases around the edges (see our image).
