A 1949 Realart Re-Release Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Bank Dick, the classic 1940 Edward F. Cline family relationship stock swindle bank robbery crime screwball comedy ("Original Story by Mahatma Kane Jeeves") starring W.C. Fields (as Egbert Souse), Una Merkel, Richard Purcell, Shemp Howard (as the bartender at the Black Pussy Cafe), Franklin Pangborn (as the bank examiner), Grady Sutton (as Og Oggilby), Jessie Ralph, Cora Witherspoon, Russell Hicks (as the guy who would rather sell his grandmother's paisley shawl than sell his Beefsteak Mine stock), and Al Hill (as the bank robber). Note that the "original screen play" is credited to "Mahatma Kane Jeeves", which was one of many of W.C. Fields' wacky pseudonyms! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that items from this 1949 re-release of this classic comedy are at least as rare as those from the 1940 first release, and probably even more rare (probably because it was not as widely distributed). We have previously auctioned two lobby cards, but no posters of any kind from this re-release, until we were consigned this one-sheet! Condition: good. Someone put paper tape on the back of all the borders and on the back of all three horizontal folds (solely for reinforcement). The poster was folded in half an extra time, and there are some light creases scattered throughout the poster. Other than the above, the poster is in pretty nice condition. It would be a simple job for any restorer to remove the paper tape and properly linenback the poster. Learn More about condition grades
