Auction History Result 2y307 13 HOURS BY AIR linen 1/2sh '36 Fred MacMurray, Joan Bennett, Zasu Pitts, cool airplane art! Date Sold 12/4/2008 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) Thirteen Hours by Air, the 1936 Mitchell Leisen airplane aviation murder mystery crime melodrama (about an airline pilot on a San Francisco to New York City flight, who makes a bet that he can take a beautiful woman to dinner after they land, but it turns out she is involved in murder and jewel robbery, so things get really complicated!) starring Fred MacMurray, Joan Bennett, Zasu Pitts, John Howard, Bennie Bartlett, Grace Bradley, Alan Baxter, Brian Donlevy, Ruth Donnelly, Fred Keating, and Adrienne Marden. Note that the title of the movie refers to the time of the transcontinental flight, which, in 1936, took 13 hours, and of course, in today's world is just a few hours! Also note that a major plot point in the movie concerned the air hostesses, who had to sign an agreement not to marry as a condition of accepting the job, and two of the actresses in the movie did not want to sign the agreement! We assume that no company in today's world can enforce such a clause, but the world was a very different place in 1936! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. The poster had extra creases and scuffs along both foldlines and there was a 4" vertical tear near the tail of the plane. There were some creases and scuffs scattered through the poster and pinholes in the corners. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but the restorer did virtually no restoration! Learn More about condition grades
