Over the Moon, the 1939 Thornton Freeland English romantic inheritance comedy ("The happiest, snappiest comedy in years"; "Merle and four men in the moon... But four's a crowd when the moon is a honeymoon! She drops one off in Paris...another at St. Moritz... the third at Monte Carlo. Then she finds out why Venice is the most romantic spot on Earth!"; "Hey nonny nonny, Merle and her Johnny Ran off for a journey in June"; "They laughed at conventions And wedding intentions, And their hearts jumped Over the Moon."; "A comedy as light as your heart when you're in love! Written especially for the beautiful star of 'Wuthering Heights' by America's foremost playwright."; "You'll loop the loop with laughter, at it's new slants on love!"; "Robert E. Sherwood's New Comedy"; "Based on a story by Robert Sherwood and Lajos Biro"; based on the story by Robert Emmett Sherwood, author of the play, "The Petrified Forest", and many wonderful Hollywood screenplays, including "The Best Years of Our Lives"; about a beautiful young English girl who falls in love with a noble young doctor, and he sells his practice so she can have the trip of a lifetime, but then she inherits millions, and that causes a major rift between them, and they separate, but everything works out in the end) starring Merle Oberon, Rex Harrison, Ursula Jeans, Robert Douglas, and Louis Borel (billed as "Louis Borell"). Note that this movie was made right after Wuthering Heights, and Alexander Korda commissioned famed playwright Robert Sherwood to write a movie screenplay that Merle Oberon could star in, and this was the result!

Artist: Juan Antonio Vargas Ocampo
Important Added Info: Note that the art on this poster is signed "Vargas", but is NOT the famous pin-up artist Alberto Vargas, but rather a Mexican artist whose full name was Juan Antonio Vargas Ocampo! Also note that this poster was folded across the middle at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: good to very good. There are several tiny worm holes scattered throughout the poster. Note that this Mexican poster is somewhat fragile! Mexican posters were printed on a paper stock that often ages very poorly, and also darkens. This poster has darkened somewhat and is more fragile along the foldlines (but of course, any talented restorer could linenback the poster, after which it would look great).
