An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 cm]) (Learn More) The Fighting President, the 1933 political biographical documentary ("The timeliest motion picture of all time"; about the life of Franklin D. Roosevelt, up to and including his first month as President of the United States) narrated by Edwin C. Hill. This movie was filmed just one month after FDR took office, and through newsreel footage, this feature-length documentary covers his entire life to that point, and shows his inauguration, plus what occurred during his first month in office. The media shielded Roosevelt's disability from the public, and in this movie, he is shown swimming in his pool at home, which he did in fact do, but of course, they were being misleading by showing that in the movie without focusing on his disability! If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
