A Set of 9 Original Vintage Educational Posters (each measures 20" x 30") (Learn More) The Young In Heart, the 1938 Richard Wallace romantic gambling family-of-con-men comedy ("Meet this fascinating family charming to meet - but expensive to know!"; "Based on the Saturday Evening Post Serial 'The Gay Banditti' by I.A.R. Wylie"; produced by David O. Selznick; about a family of con men and con women who cheat at cards and other gambling games, and they are thrown out of Monte Carlo, and accidentally save the life of a rich old lady, and she has them live with her, and they hope to inherit her money) starring Janet Gaynor, Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Paulette Goddard, Roland Young, Billie Burke, Richard Carlson (in his film debut!), and Tom Ricketts 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: Note that this is a set of special educational posters created by the studio to promote this movie. Apparently, this promotion started in 1938, and these sets of posters were sent to libraries by the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (apparently, the company that either printed these or distributed these). We imagine the idea was for the library to display these posters around their walls, so that visitors to the library would learn about how movies were made (this set shows behind the scenes images from the movie, with much information about how it was made, information that is likely available nowhere else!), and at the same time, it would provide publicity for a current movie! These sets are incredibly rare. In our many years of auctioning, we have only seen a couple of sets offered by anyone. Now, a collection of 17 of these sets that were sent to a Massachusetts library were discovered, and are being offered here, in 17 separate auctions. We doubt we will see even a handful more of these over the next decades, so this is an extremely rare opportunity to purchase these sets. Note that each set comes with the original mailing tube from the company to the library, with either a partial of full mailing label attached to it. We can send that mailing tube to the winner of this auction, if they wish, but that will mean that the set of posters can't be combined with other purchases, so it will be up to the winner of the auction to tell us whether they want us to send the mailing tube with the set. Condition: good. Learn More about condition grades
