An Original 1940s (from the first release of this movie in Belgium) Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Belgian Movie Poster (measures 11 3/4" x 16 1/2" [30 x 42 cm]) (Learn More) Everybody's Doing It, the 1937 Christy Cabanne romantic crime comedy (about gangsters who try to rig a national puzzle contest; all sorts of puzzle contests were very popular in the heights of the Depression, and this movie attempted to capitalize on that popularity!) starring Preston Foster, Sally Eilers, Arthur Lake, Cecil Kellaway, William Brisbane, and Lorraine Krueger 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: This poster is printed on the back of a poster (it is part of the original "Lone Ranger" poster, but it only has a small portion of that poster)! Why is this? During World War II, there were massive paper shortages in Belgium. Where Belgian movie posters had previously been approximately 23" x 32", there was such a shortage of paper that not only did they often have to print them on the back of other posters or maps, but during World War II, the size of the posters shrank dramatically, with some of them as small as 11" x 15". This situation continued even after World War II, until around 1946 or 1947, when they began making Belgian movie posters in a size of roughly 14" x 22", which became the standard size, and continued for decades! The posters like these that are from during World War II or immediately after, and which are printed in a small size (often on the back of other posters or maps) are INCREDIBLY rare (surely they did not print many, and surely many of them were soon recycled themselves! Condition: good. The poster was printed on the back of part of a poster (see above). You can see slight bleed-through from the printing on the back, mostly in the blank borders, but also in Eiler's face. Other examples of this poster might well have this same defect (or something similar), but it is noticeable (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
