Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Open the Door Richard, the classic 1945 William Forest Crouch black African American musical comedy short (about a drunk man returning home and he can't get in) starring Dusty Fletcher (composer of the song, "Open the Door Richard"), Fred Winn, and Stepin Fetchit. Note that there is much conflicting information about this short all over the Internet. Was it released in 1945 or 1947? Was it originally part of the movie "Hi De Ho" and extracted from it? Does Dusty Fletcher and his band perform the title song? Is the title character played by Dusty Fletcher or by Stepin Fetchit? You can find different answers to these questions depending on where you look! If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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: This poster has been professionally linenbacked. It now looks great, and most dealers would describe it as "fine (or mint) on linen". We have noted the defects that were restored below (and feel everyone should always do this!). Many collectors would not be aware of the restoration this poster has had unless it was specifically shown to them! Condition: very good to fine. There were some small areas of paper loss in the borders and some discoloration in the white area under the musical note at right center, but otherwise the poster was in quite nice condition. Its minor flaws have been well corrected,. Most of the linenbacked posters we sell were restored by the finest professionals. An expertly linenbacked poster will often appear "mint", as its defects have been made to "vanish". We are the only seller we are aware of who always tries to describe the condition of the poster prior to being linenbacked, so you are fully aware of what restoration was performed.
