Chicago howled for sixteen months... Now You can see the funniest stage hit in years!"; "Based on the Play by Norman Krasna") starring William Holden, Joan Caulfield (in the title role as Ruth Watkins), Billy De Wolfe, Edward Arnold, Mona Freeman, Mary Philips, Virginia Welles, and Kenny O'Morrison. Note that there is a urban legend connected to this movie! For many years, people spread the rumor that J.D. Salinger came up with the name for the lead character in The Catcher in the Rye from seeing William Holden and Joan Caulfield billed on a movie marquee, with their last names one above the other, and from that, he named his character Holden Caulfield. But the only problem with that is that the book came out a year and a half before the movie did! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Richardson Studio Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this poster, and the last one was 10 years ago. The buyer of one of those posters had it linenbacked and has now reconsigned it to us, so this is still only one of two examples we have ever auctioned! What IS linenbacking?
