A 1945 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Movie Lobby Card (LC; measures 11" x 14") (Learn More)

Sons of the Desert, the classic 1933 Lloyd French & William A. Seiter Hawaii screwball husbands-and-wives comedy (produced by Hal Roach; likely the very best Laurel & Hardy movie, this is the one where they sneak off to a Sons of the Desert convention and play ukuleles and sing "Honolulu Baby", but they lie to their wives and are reported dead in a ship sinking, and much more!) starring Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy (Laurel and Hardy), Charley Chase (primarily remembered as a great silent comedian who appeared in 276 movies, most of them comedy shorts, Chase also directed 140 comedy shorts), Mae Busch, and Dorothy Christy

Important Added Info: Note that in the past, we have not known what year this re-release is from. However, a long time collector told us he saw an ad in the exhibitor magazine Motion Picture Herald that said this movie was being re-released to theaters by Film Classics on New Year's Day 1945. Therefore, this is from a 1945 re-release, which is just 12 years after the initial release (and first release posters from this movie are incredibly rare).

Condition: very good. There is staining down the extreme left edge of the left blank border. The top and bottom borders are lightly rippled due to exposure to moisture (but it is more "felt" than seen). Other than the above, the card is in pretty nice condition! Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back of the card!
