An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Bermuda Mystery, the 1944 Benjamin Stoloff Caribbean romantic love triangle murder mystery crime comedy ("From the story by John Larkin"; about an engaged private detective, who, through no choice of his own, gets mixed up with the ditzy possible heir to a fortune!) starring Preston Foster, Ann Rutherford, Charles Butterworth, Helene Reynolds, Jean Howard, and Richard Lane. Note that this movie dealt with a "tontine", which is something that was once explored in literature, the idea of a group of rich people putting up either all their money or a lot of money, and the last person to survive inherits everything, which naturally is an invitation to murder! Also, note that 20th Century-Fox intended this as a lighthearted comedy mystery melodrama, and wanted it to be the first of a series, a sort of "Thin Man" type of series, with Foster and Rutherford, but apparently, this first entry did not do well, so it is the only one that was made. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. There is some tattering, small paper loss, and creasing along the foldlines and around the edges of the poster. There is a piece of brown paper tape on the back along the top quarter of the vertical fold, but it does not appear to be there for any restoration purpose. Learn More about condition grades
