An Original Vintage Theatrical Kraftbacked Folded Egyptian Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 38 1/2" x 78 1/2" [98 x 199 cm]) (Learn More)

Great Guns, the 1941 Monty Banks military screwball comedy ("They're the target in target practice! They're the revel in reveille!..... and they're the pain in the Sergeant's neck!") starring Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy (Laurel and Hardy), Sheila Ryan, Dick Nelson, Edmund MacDonald, Paul Harvey, Russell Hicks, Charles Arnt, and Alan Ladd (in an uncredited role). Note that this movie was released in October 1941, when the U.S. was on the verge of entering World War II (and since it was expected by many, it made sense for studios to make war movies at this time).
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 we have never before auctioned this Egyptian three-sheet! We don't know for certain if it is from the first release of this movie in Egypt, and we don't know if it is from 1941 or from later in the 1940s, so please do not bid unless you can accept this uncertainty. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this three-sheet was printed in 3 sections designed to overlap. Also note that 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. The poster was kraft-backed (see above). It has pinholes and tape stains around the edges and some extra folds, with some stains in the borders and a few elsewhere in the poster (see our image).
