An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Belgian Movie Poster (measures 14 1/4" x 18 3/4" [36 x 48 cm]) (Learn More)

Ship Ahoy, the 1942 Edward Buzzell World War II (WWII) Navy Naval sailor military spy espionage romantic musical mistaken identity screwball comedy ("MGM's Smash Musical Comedy Hit!"; about a novelist who takes a cruise to Puerto Rico to calm his nerves, and he gets involved with a singer who thinks she is smuggling for the U.S. government, but actually, she has been duped by spies, and then her bag gets mixed up with the novelist's!) starring Eleanor Powell, Red Skelton, Bert Lahr, Virginia O'Brien, Tommy Dorsey & His Orchestra, Nestor Paiva, and Frank Sinatra (unbilled, with Tommy Dorsey's band). Note that the plot sounds really zany, and it was really just a device to allow for Tommy Dorsey to perform a lot of songs and for Eleanor Powell to dance, and young unbilled Frank Sinatra, in his second movie, and his first for MGM, gets to sing a song!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 14 1/4" x 18 3/4" [36 x 48 cm]. Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: good to very good. The poster originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this is commonly done with Belgian posters, similar to how the blank top is trimmed off of U.S. window cards). There is a 1/2" tear in Skelton's chin at upper right and there are some pin holes and tiny tears around the edges of the poster (repaired with tape from the back).
