An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style B Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Dick Tracy, the 1945 William A. Berke detective crime mystery action thriller ("Now on the screen!"; "He's in the movies now!"; "See him on the screen!"; "Based on the cartoon strip 'Dick Tracy' by Chester Gould") starring Morgan Conway (in the title role as Dick Tracy), Anne Jeffreys, Mike Mazurki (as "Splitface"), Jane Greer, Lyle Latell, and Mickey Kuhn. Note that this was the very first Dick Tracy movie! It is surprising that it took six years for it to reach the screen in 1947's "Dick Tracy", but once it did, it proved very popular and was followed by three more serials over the next four years, and then after a four year break, the first Dick Tracy feature film was released, which again proved extremely popular, and there were three sequels to that. There were animated cartoons on TV in the 1950s and in 1990, Warren Beatty made a live action movie! 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 this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned this "style B" poster in all our years of auctioning (and we auctioned only one style A poster for this title in 1997! Note also that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters. Condition: good. The poster has varying amounts of creases, smudges and scuff marks scattered throughout (see our image). It has a large, partial vertical crease at right and the center of that crease has torn through the paper and is repaired with masking tape from the back. There are a few tears at left that have been repaired with tape from the back as well (brown paper tape) and there is some small surface paper loss at lower right. After proper restoration the very rare poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
