The Magnificent Dope, the 1942 Walter Lang romantic love triangle comedy ("They laughed when he walked in... And you will too!"; "He was just a dope from a jerkwater town... who didn't know the answers! But when this lovable dope starts to whoop... it's magnificent!"; about a man who runs a school to make unsuccessful people successful, who has a contest to find the biggest failure in the country, but when he enrolls the failure in his school, he both starts converting the other students to his way of thinking, and also threatens to steal the teacher's girl!) starring Henry Fonda, Lynn Bari, Don Ameche, Edward Everett Horton, and George Barbier

Important Added Info: This Argentinean poster measures approximately 29" x 43" and is linenbacked.

Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!).

The poster had tiny paper loss at each crossfold. There were tiny tears and separation along the horizontal foldlines. There were smudges, tears, and tiny paper loss around the edges of the poster. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the restoration, even from a distance.
