An Original Vintage Theatrical Thirty by Forty Movie Poster (30x40; measures 30" x 40" [76 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Broadway Musketeers, the 1938 John Farrow New York City musical romantic crime melodrama ("I'm a secretary in love with my boss!"; "I'm a strip-tease dancer in a burlesque joint!"; "I'm married to a stock broker and not happily!"; a wacky story of three female best friends in New York City with very different lives, and they have a birthday dinner together once each year, but they get mixed up with gamblers and racketeers, and one of them is kidnapped with her daughter when one of the husbands welches on a gambling bet, and the mother is killed, but the movie has a happy ending, because her daughter attends the next birthday dinner with the two survivors!) starring Margaret Lindsay, Ann Sheridan (made during the time in her career when she was not yet a leading star, but Warner Bros. stuck her in virtually every movie they made where she could play any part!), Marie Wilson, John Litel, and Janet Chapman 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 the National Screen Service offered 30x40s on almost every movie in the 1930s and 1940s, but VERY few theaters ordered them (surely because they cost many times what a one-sheet cost, due to the heavier paper; we have seen in pressbooks where a one-sheet was ten cents and a 30x40 was $1.50, so surely hardly any theaters ordered them at all!). Very few 30x40s survive from ANY movies from the mid 1940s and earlier, and ones from the 1930s are virtually non-existent. We have only previously auctioned three 30x40s from ANY 1930s movies! Now, we have been consigned a remarkable find of four 30x40s from 1938, and we are currently auctioning them in four separate auctions. So that means we are currently auctioning more 1930s 30x40s at this time than we have in the entire past thirty years, and we might not have any more for years to come! Note that because this poster was printed on a pretty heavy stock, it can't be folded or rolled and must be sent in a large flat package that measures approximately 32" x 42". Please bear this added expense in mind before bidding on this poster. Note that this item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package. Most of these items absolutely can only be sent in flat packages, and could not possibly be rolled into a tube. Some of them might SEEM like they could be rolled in a tube, like a half-sheet, but they can't. The reason these items are in this auction is specifically because they CAN'T be rolled (because rolling any of them would damage them, even if they somehow can be rolled). So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item when ready for shipping), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it. IN THE CASE OF EXTREMELY LARGE FLAT ITEMS, THE SHIPPING COST WILL BE VERY HIGH, SO PLEASE DO NOT BID WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT THAT ADDED SHIPPING AMOUNT, AND INCLUDE THAT AMOUNT IN WHAT YOU BID (so if you would pay $150, but the shipping is likely $100, then only bid $50). And those who live outside the U.S. and who do not have a U.S. address to ship to SHOULD NOT BID AT ALL ON EXTREMELY LARGE FLAT ITEMS, BECAUSE THEY COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO SEND OUTSIDE THE U.S. Condition: very good. There is a vertical scuff mark running from the lower right of the hair of the girl at left down to the bottom of the black area (it is not very noticeable or distracting). There are a few minor water stains in the edges of the blank borders. Otherwise the poster is in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
