An Original 1949 (from the first release of this movie in Italy) Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Italian Photobusta Movie Poster (13x18 pbusta; measures 13 3/4" x 19 1/4" [35 x 49 cm]) (Learn More) The Wizard of Oz, the classic 1939 Victor Fleming family magical fantasy adventure musical ("MGM's miracle musical show of shows!"; "It's Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's Technicolor triumph!"; "Magnificent in its brilliant Technicolor splendor!"; "At Last It's Here Biggest Sensation Since "Snow White"!"; "The mighty miracle show that is the talk of America!"; "Amazing sights to see! The Tornado, Munchkinland, Horse of a Different Color, Startling Balloon Ascent, The Flying Monkeys, The Tree That Throws Apples"; "Gaiety! Glory! Glamour!"; based on the classic book of the same name by L. Frank Baum; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Judy Garland (as Dorothy), Frank Morgan (in the title role as The Wizard of Oz!), Ray Bolger (as The Scarecrow), Bert Lahr (as The Cowardly Lion), Jack Haley (as The Tin Man), Billie Burke (as Glinda, the Good Witch), Margaret Hamilton (as the Wicked Witch), Charley Grapewin, "The Munchkins", and Toto too! Note that MGM was worried about how well this movie would do at the box office, and they did something we don't remember seeing on any other major movie advertising! One of the taglines says "Biggest sensation since Snow White", which means MGM was advertising a Walt Disney movie, but that shows just how worried they were! Of course, they needn't have worried, because this was a timeless classic that has only improved with age. 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 scheduled to be first released in Italy in 1946, and some posters were printed at that time. But that release did not happen until 1949, although it may have had a very few showings prior to that. So the first regular Italian release was in 1949, but some Italian posters are dated prior to that, due to the long delay in it receiving its first general release. This particular poster is dated 1948. Also note that we have previously auctioned two horizontal style first release Italian photobustas from this movie, but we have never before auctioned this vertical style! Condition: very good. The photobusta was lightly partially folded slightly above center. It has pinholes in the corners and some tears near the middle of the left and right borders. Learn More about condition grades
