The Jerk!'"; "Hold on to your hat, Gary... A glamour dish is after your heart!"; "You'll laugh with your heart wide open at this whooping, yet warmly tender comedy-romance! It's Gary in top-form as a stiff-as-a-board professor who unbends with a bang... When a glamour-dish whose slang he's studying treats him to a lesson in curves!"; "Don't be a Drizzle-Puss... I'm just showing you... What 'YUM-YUM' means!"; "A new heart-note in laughter, bright with that Goldwyn glow!"; "Screen play by Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder"; VERY loosely based on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, with a gangster's showgirl girlfriend taking refuge with seven nerdy professors, and falling in love with one of them) starring Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; as Sugarpuss O'Shea), Oscar Homolka, Henry Travers, Tully Marshall, Dana Andrews, Dan Duryea, S.Z. Sakall, Leonid Kinskey, Richard Haydn, Aubrey Mather, Allen Jenkins, and Ralph Peters 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 poster has been kraftbacked, which means it was backed onto a brown paper soon after it was printed (this process is called "kraft-backing", and posters with it are called "kraft-backed"). One could have it professionally removed from the kraft paper and linenbacked, and it would look great! Condition: good. Prior to kraftbacking, the poster was slightly trimmed (blank white paper only) and measures 27" x 40". The poster has many creases and smudges around the edges of the poster and many minor border defects, but certainly any talented restorer can remove the poster from its kraftbacking, and after proper restoration, the poster will look great!
