An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More)

It's a Wonderful World, the 1939 W.S. Van Dyke (billed as "W.S. Van Dyke, II") romantic fantasy screwball comedy ("Screen Play by Ben Hecht"; about a private detective who is wanted by the police after getting too involved in a murder investigate, and he goes on the run with a somewhat wacky poetess who he initially kidnaps, but over time, she comes to fall in love with him!) starring Claudette Colbert, James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart; collectively billed as "Claudette Colbert and James Stewart in a wonderful picture"), Guy Kibbee, Nat Pendleton, Frances Drake, Edgar Kennedy, and Ernest Truex. Note that this movie has many familiar elements that screenwriter Ben Hecht borrowed from movies like The 39 Steps and The Thin Man, but the movie is quite entertaining and the two lead stars' great "star power" makes this a very entertaining movie!

Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards.

Condition: very good to fine. The poster had a few very faint creases in both foldlines. There were pinholes in the corners and a few faint smudges and tiny tears in the borders. There were a few faint smudges in the yellow background areas and a very few faint scuffs scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was well backed, and looks great!
