An Original Vintage Theatrical Style A One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Campus Confessions (released in England as "Fast Play"), the 1938 George Archainbaud college university basketball sports romantic comedy ("The brightest, fastest show of the season...!"; "Original Story and Screen Play by Lloyd Carrigan and Erwin Gelsey"; a wacky story of a college that has one great basketball player, but still loses every game because the rest of the team is dreadful, but then a rich student finds he can become popular if he can learn to play basketball, so he hires the great player to come to his father's mansion with the team, and the great player coaches them all!; they become good enough to win the championship, but then the great player is suspended for failing math, but then, in the championship game, in the third quarter, the great player is given an oral math exam, which he passes, and he goes into the game and scores 24 points in the fourth quarter and they win!) starring Betty Grable, Eleanore Whitney, William Henry, Fritz Feld, John Arledge, Thurston Hall, Richard Denning, and Hank Luisetti (real life college basketball player, playing himself and billed as "All-American Basketball Star"!). Obviously Paramount wanted to make the good use of real life basketball star Hank Luisetti, and they crafted the plot around him. They also top-billed pretty young starlettes Betty Grable and Eleanore Whitney, but neither one had a lot to do in the movie. The romantic lead was William Henry, and this could have been his "big break", but that didn't work out, although he continued on in small roles in many movies for decades!

While most collectors do not like this, I have seen many posters that have been mounted on foamcore for years, and it never has any ill effects on the poster, so I am not sure why there is a bias against it! Condition: fair to good. The poster has been mounted onto foamcore and it appears that some sort of protective sealant has been neatly applied over the front. There is a small 'movie quiz' snipe in the blank area at lower right. There is some small paper loss at the crossfolds (more so at bottom) and at some of the ends of the foldlines. After the poster was mounted onto the foamcore it was roughly handled and there are creases in each corner from it being 'bumped'. The poster is otherwise in generally nice condition, and while it may not be possible to remove the poster from the foamcore and properly restore it, it does display reasonably well and if one had it framed the creases in the corners would not be very noticeable and I imagine most collectors would be quite happy to display it as it is!
