An Original Vintage Theatrical Trade-Ad (measures 9" x 12 1/4" [23 x 31 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More) Adventure, the 1945 Victor Fleming romantic love triangle gambling melodrama ("Victor Fleming's Production of MGM's Adventure"; "Based on a novel by Clyde Brion Davis") starring Clark Gable (this was Gable's first movie after three years in World War II, and the tagline was "Gable's back and Garson's got him!"), Greer Garson, Joan Blondell, Thomas Mitchell, Tom Tully, John Qualen, Richard Haydn, Lina Romay, Harry Davenport, Betty Blythe, and Pierre Watkin. Note that this movie was the first one that Clark Gable made after serving in World War II, and that is why the tagline for the movie started with "Gable's back", because he enlisted in the war, as did so many other top stars!

Artist: Jacques Kapralik Important Added Info: Note that from the 1920s on, studios would create elaborate trade ads, often in full color, and often using the finest artists of the day. They would run these ads in their studio yearbooks (and sometimes those books are separated and the ads are sold individually), but they would also print those trade ads separately and mail them individually to theater owners, trying to get them to book that specific movie. The trade ad offered here was NOT removed from a yearbook or magazine, but was printed individually. It comes to us from the daughter of an MGM studio executive, who took home samples of these great ads (which explains why they are in such great condition, because they were never mailed to a theater). Condition: very good. There is a small amount of tattering in the bottom of the vertical fold. The ad is otherwise in pretty nice condition and it displays well. Learn More about condition grades
