Just give us the gals."; "Warner Bros' new super-riot in SUPERcineCOLOR"; "It's One Big Roar from Shore to Shore!"; "Salty songs! Saucy Babes!

Important Added Info: Note that this still measures 8" x 10 1/2" [20 x 27 cm]. Also note that this still appears in every way to be original U.S. release EXCEPT that there is one very tiny line of French type in the lower right. It reads, "IMPRIME AUX ETATS-UNIS D'AMERIQUE". A collector has told us that he believes this means the still was printed for use in areas that included French-speaking parts of Canada, but that it WAS printed in the U.S., and that makes complete sense to us (and we have seen this on stills from the 1940s through the early 2000s, so it has certainly been done for an extremely long time)! So it is an original still from 1953, but it was printed partially for use in French-speaking Canada. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good. The still has some minor defects around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
