An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Million Dollar Mermaid, the 1952 Mervyn LeRoy fictionalized biography aquatic synchronized swimming musical extravaganza ("MGM's Miracle Technicolor Musical!"; "A musical miracle... Inspired by the true story of bathing beauties!") starring Esther Williams (champion swimmer who made a long series of aquatic swimming movies; as Annette Kellerman), Victor Mature, Walter Pidgeon, David Brian, and Donna Corcoran. Note that this movie was a highly fictionalized biography of Annette Kellerman, who was a major celebrity of the early 1900s! Her nickname was "The Diving Venus", and she was arrested in Boston in 1907 for wearing a then-scandalous one-piece bathing suit! She continued to be controversial and she had a nude appearance in "A Daughter of the Gods", believed to be the first nude scene in a major movie. She was born with deformed legs, but overcame that through swimming, and made three attempts to swim the English Channel, none of which were successful. She appeared in a total of 13 movies between 1909 and 1924. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: fair to good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and many creases and scuffs on parts of many foldlines. There were pairs of staple holes across the horizontal folds and around the edges of the poster. There was bleed through from a stamp and writing in the top left of the poster. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see many signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
