A 1941 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Navy Blue and Gold: The Love Story of Annapolis, the 1937 Sam Wood Maryland romantic love triangle military Navy U.S. Naval Academy comedy ("The Love Story of Annapolis!"; a story of three plebes at the Naval academy, and their struggles to graduate and find romance too; sort of a 1937 version of "An Officer and a Gentleman") starring James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart), Robert Young, Lionel Barrymore, Florence Rice, Billie Burke, Tom Brown, Samuel S. Hinds, Paul Kelly, and Barnett Parker. Note that in the 1920s and 1930s, you could only get into Annapolis by getting an appointment from a congressman or senator, and you needed 20/20 vision, so it was a very exclusive place to go, and also while at the academy, students could not be married, so there would often be dozens of weddings the day after graduation, because their girlfriends had become pregnant! 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 movie was apparently very popular when it was released in 1937, because there was a very quick re-release of it (the posters and lobby cards from that re-release are undated, but the re-release one-sheet has a litho number, and by comparing this number to our massive database of litho numbers taken from actual movie posters, we can determine that this re-release is almost certainly from 1941!). Condition: good. The poster has creases, pinholes, tears and some tiny blank paper loss around the edges. There are a few stains in portions of the edges and there are lipstick "kiss" marks scattered in the credits at top (see our image - fortunately not in the faces of the stars). There are tiny pinholes in Rice's image and there is tiny paper loss in Stewart's face at left. After proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
