An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style D One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More)

Ship Ahoy, the 1942 Edward Buzzell World War II (WWII) Navy Naval sailor military spy espionage romantic musical mistaken identity screwball comedy ("MGM's Smash Musical Comedy Hit!"; about a novelist who takes a cruise to Puerto Rico to calm his nerves, and he gets involved with a singer who thinks she is smuggling for the U.S. government, but actually, she has been duped by spies, and then her bag gets mixed up with the novelist's!) starring Eleanor Powell, Red Skelton, Bert Lahr, Virginia O'Brien, Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra, Nestor Paiva, and Frank Sinatra (unbilled, with Tommy Dorsey's band). Note that the plot sounds really zany, and it was really just a device to allow for Tommy Dorsey to perform a lot of songs and for Eleanor Powell to dance, and young unbilled Frank Sinatra, in his second movie, and his first for MGM, gets to sing a song!
