The Jerk!'"; "Hold on to your hat, Gary... A glamour dish is after your heart!"; "You'll laugh with your heart wide open at this whooping, yet warmly tender comedy-romance! It's Gary in top-form as a stiff-as-a-board professor who unbends with a bang... When a glamour-dish whose slang he's studying treats him to a lesson in curves!"; "Don't be a Drizzle-Puss... I'm just showing you... What 'YUM-YUM' means!"; "A new heart-note in laughter, bright with that Goldwyn glow!"; "Screen play by Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder"; VERY loosely based on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, with a gangster's showgirl girlfriend taking refuge with seven nerdy professors, and falling in love with one of them) starring Gary Cooper, Barbara Stanwyck (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; as Sugarpuss O'Shea), Oscar Homolka, Henry Travers, Tully Marshall, Dana Andrews, Dan Duryea, S.Z. Sakall, Leonid Kinskey, Richard Haydn, Aubrey Mather, Allen Jenkins, and Ralph Peters 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: The poster originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this is commonly done with Belgian posters, similar to how the blank top is trimmed off of U.S. window cards) Condition: good to very good. Someone trimmed the top blank border of the poster, but trimming around the outline of Stanwyck's hair, which had extended into the blank border. There was a fold across the middle of the poster with minor wear on the fold. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, and the restorer put blank paper in the top blank border to replace the missing border, but it is not a perfect match to the other borders, so you can see that it was replaced.
