An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style A Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More)

Rainbow Island, the 1944 Ralph Murphy South Seas tropical island romantic musical ("Paramount's tropical paradise of laughter, love, songs and sarongs!"; "An island of fun in a sea of laughs") starring Dorothy Lamour, Eddie Bracken, Gil Lamb, Barry Sullivan, and Elena Verdugo. Note that Dorothy Lamour starred as "Lona", and there were young sexy girls who wore tropical outfits and were only credited as "Lona's Companions", and two of those were Yvonne De Carlo and Noel Neill, both of whom went on to bigger and better careers!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this half-sheet! Also note that the half-sheet was folded once in each direction at one time. Because the folds are such that they have not diminished over time, AND because the poster was folded down the exact center in each direction, then we MAY fold the half-sheet prior to mailing, if it reduces shipping costs, and if you do not also purchase other half-sheets that need to be sent rolled. So it will be sent either rolled in a tube or folded in a standard flat package.

Condition: good to very good. The poster has some creases on parts of both folds and some creases and smudges in the borders. It had a 3" tear in the lower left border and someone put tape on the front and back of that tear. There is a 3" vertical razor cut in the bottom of the left border and someone put tape on the back of that and folded a little bit of it over to the front at the bottom. Otherwise, the poster is in pretty nice condition (see our image)!
