Auction History Result 3z0773 DOWN TO EARTH advance 25x40 English 1sh 1947 different art of Rita Hayworth, very rare! Date Sold 3/16/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Advance English One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 25 1/4" x 40" [64 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Down to Earth, the 1947 Alexander Hall New York City Broadway romantic fantasy musical ("She Sings! She Dances! She Loves!"; "She's out of this world... In Technicolor!"; "They say she kissed 2000 men!"; "Songs by Allan Roberts and Doris Fisher"; "Magic enchantment that takes you out of this world..."; about the real life goddess Terpsichore coming down to Earth after seeing how she is portrayed in a Broadway musical!) starring Rita Hayworth, Larry Parks, Marc Platt, Roland Culver, James Gleason, Edward Everett Horton, Adele Jergens, George Macready, William Frawley, James Burke, and Virginia Hunter. Note that there is an oddity about the posters for this movie. They have a 1946 NSS number, and yet the movie was not released until August of 1947. Perhaps it was intended for a December 1946 release (to qualify for awards), but when the movie was not ready in time, it ended up getting pushed back until the following August. If anyone knows more about this, 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. Important Added Info: Note that we have only once before auctioned this English advance poster (which measures 25 1/4" x 40" [64 x 102 cm]) and that very same poster has been reconsigned to us for this auction so it is still the only example we have ever auctioned! It has wonderful different sexy art of Rita Hayworth that we have not seen on any other poster, and it also has great reviews of the movie from English journalists (because they got to see the movie at an advance screening before it was first released in England, which was ten days after the U.S. release). There is also a great description of Rita Hayworth at the top of the poster that reads "She's all the Hayworth you ever loved - rolled into one!". Note also that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. There is 1 1/2" of vertical separation at the top and bottom crossfolds, with some creases along the top and bottom horizontal folds and minor wear on the other folds. There are some creases around the edges. There are brown stains on the back of the top left corner of the poster that do not show through to the front, except in one tiny area. The poster can certainly be displayed and enjoyed as it is, or it could have a simple linenbacking. Learn More about condition grades
