Director Frank Capra remade this film in 1950 as the musical "Riding High", in which he actually used many of the same actors so he wouldn't have to re-shoot any of the big race scenes, which were reused from this film!

Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had several extra folds in addition to the regular ones, with some creases, scuffs, and tiny bits of surface paper loss along parts of the folds. It had some tiny pinholes and paper loss in the blank borders. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone backed the poster onto linen with no excess and they attempted slight fold restoration, but not much. If I owned this poster, I would surely have it removed from the linen and properly re-backed. Please bear this in mind before bidding on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
