An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Canadian One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 40" [69 x 102 cm]) (Learn More)

By the Light of the Silvery Moon, the 1953 David Butler musical ("They're Wooin' and Doin' The Things Boys and Girls Like To Do..."; "Warner Bros.' wonderfully warm-hearted croonin' and spoonin' musical delight!"; "Written by Robert O'Brien and Irving Elinson"; "Those grand days! Those grand ways! They're singin', dancin', wooin' and doin' all the things boys and girls love to do!"; "How they croon... How they spoon...") starring Doris Day, Gordon MacRae, Billy Gray, Leon Ames, and Rosemary DeCamp. Note that at this time Warner Brothers was looking for movies to make with Doris Day and so they chose to re-make one of their successful "Penrod" movies of the 1930s, but they switched the emphasis from the Penrod character to his tomboy older sister (played by Day)!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we have sold a number of posters that look similar to this one, with a silkscreen-like look to them. Since most of these have come to us directly from Canada, we think it is likely that they are Canadian one-sheets created for movies that were shown in Canada. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this poster measures 27" x 40" [69 x 102 cm].

Condition: fair to good. There is marker writing on the back of the poster that bleeds through to the front at top center. There is tattering and some staining along the foldlines and around the edges of the poster.
