Date Sold 4/1/2014Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Our Gang: Calling All Kids, the 1943 Sam Baerwitz patriotic juvenile comedy short starring Robert Blake (as Mickey), Janet Burston, Billy 'Froggy' Laughlin, Billy 'Buckwheat' Thomas, and Dickie Love. Note that this was one of the last entries in this series (after Spanky and Alfalfa had both departed), and this one had a pretty clever plot where the kids performed a stage show saluting the men in uniform in World War II. One of the acts they performed has young Dickie Love performing the "Torpedo Dance" that had been recently performed by Fred Astaire in "Holiday Inn", and in another act, Buckwheat was supposed to impersonate Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson (but the studio was not happy with his impersonation, so they got the real Rochester to dub Buckwheat's voice, so that it appeared that Buckwheat could do a great impersonation of him!). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had small paper loss at the top crossfold and tiny paper loss at the other two crossfolds. It had extra horizontal folds above and below the top horizontal fold, with smudges, scuffs, and some tiny paper loss on that fold and in the top quarter of the vertical foldline, with minor wear on the other foldlines. There were pinholes and some tears around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
