Zanuck) starring Linda Darnell, James Ellison, Ann Sothern, Elsa Maxwell, John Halliday, Lynn Bari, Katharine Aldridge, Alan Dinehart, Jean Rogers, June Gale, Joyce Compton, and Amanda Duff. Note that 20th Century-Fox hired famous pin-up artists McClelland Barclay, George Petty, Bradshaw Crandell, and John LaGatta to create the one-sheet, three-sheet and half-sheets (and the lookalike title card) for this movie. Each featured great pin-up art of a sexy girl (none look like the actresses in the movie, but nobody minded!). They advertised it this way: "When these artists paint a girl, the whole world stops to LOOK! Petty, John La Gatta, McClelland Barclay, Bradshaw Crandell ...and each has created a striking figure especially for your 'Hotel For Women' campaign!" NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: McClelland Barclay Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned three examples of this one-sheet, with great art by McClelland Barclay, and the last one was 10 years ago, when it sold for $4,006!
