A 1942 Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Folded Style A Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) S.S. Van Dine's The Kennel Murder Case, the 1933 Michael Curtiz detective mystery crime murder thriller starring William Powell (billed as "William Powell returns as Philo Vance in S.S. Van Dine's The Kennel Murder Case"), Mary Astor, Eugene Pallette, Ralph Morgan, Helen Vinson, Jack La Rue, Paul Cavanagh, Robert McWade, Charles C. Wilson, Arthur Hohl, and Robert Barrat. Note that William Powell first played Philo Vance in 1929's "The Canary Murder Case" and after the character proved very popular, he followed it the next year with "The Greene Murder Case", after which Basil Rathbone took over the role that same year in "The Bishop Murder Case". After Powell played Vance again in "The Benson Murder Case" (which was also made in a Spanish language version with an entirely different case), he then played him one more time in "The Kennel Murder Case" in 1933, but the character also appeared in ten more movies between 1934 and 1947, with other actors in the lead roles.

Important Added Info: Note that posters and lobby cards from this 1942 re-release are often mistakenly sold as being from the original 1933 release, because they are not marked! 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. There is tattering and paper loss around the edges of the poster (with a single clear tape repair on the back of the right of the bottom edge) and there is approximately 2" of separation and tiny paper loss at the crossfold. Fortunately, the poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition and its defects are mostly in solid color background or border areas and after restoration the poster will look great!
