An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) The Wagons Roll At Night, the 1941 Ray Enright romantic love triangle circus lion tamer melodrama ("For the millions who cheered 'They Drive by Night'!"; "A thousand thrills are yours when... The Wagons Roll At Night"; "Anything can happen at night! Reckless men and women... a city on wheels... and a new adventure beyond the headlights on every turn of the road!"; "Suggested by a story by Francis Wallace"; not one of Bogart's best; he is a circus lion tamer who gets involved romantically with a pretty girl, and another lion tamer loves her too, which sets the scene of men being mauled by lions!) starring Humphrey Bogart, Sylvia Sidney, Joan Leslie, Eddie Albert, Sig Ruman, Cliff Clark, and Jack Mower. Note that this movie is a remake of 1937's "Kid Galahad" with the setting changed from boxing to a traveling circus, and Humphrey Bogart appeared in both movies (albeit, in drastically different roles)! Also note that star Sylvia Sidney had been a major leading lady in the early to mid 1930s, but she had "retired" from movies for two years before returning to make this movie. Apparently, movie paper was originally printed giving Miss Sidney fourth billing, and it seems she strongly objected to that, because a studio-issued snipe was created that changed her billing to second (we have seen a one-sheet and a title card with this corrective snipe glued on them)!

Important Added Info: Note that there is a large corrective credits snipe in the bottom right corner. If you look at the poster through the light, you can see that on the original poster Joan Leslie was billed in the top right (next to Bogart), and that Sylvia Sidney was billed at bottom right (next to Eddie Albert). I can't say for sure what happened, but it seems likely that Sylvia Sidney (or her agent) demanded that she be moved next to Bogart, and apparently Warner Bros. agreed at the last moment, printing snipes that were glued on over the original billing, and sending them to theaters at the last minute!
