UPDATED 06/19/2020: Note that Swing Time was released in Japan in December of 1936. This press sheet is from December or early January (it mentions "Happy New Year 1937" on the back) and is promoting Swing Time and upcoming planned movies from RKO (similar to a campaign book). Some of the movies would not come out until 1938 (Gunga Din, Saint in New York), some still had the working titles (Shall We Dance was called Stepping Toes) and some were never made (Robert Donat in Clementina, directed by Edward Small). Condition: very good. The rare press sheet has some minor fold and border wear but is overall in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
