eMoviePoster.comAuction History Result #390 SMALL TOWN GIRL 3sh '53 Powell Date Sold 7/30/2002Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Three-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 41" x 81") (Learn More) Small Town Girl, the 1953 Leslie Kardos romantic love triangle musical ("Music and Merriment in color by Technicolor"; "Story by Dorothy Cooper"; about a playboy speeding through a small town with his fiancee, and he is arrested and sentenced to 30 days in jail, and the judge's daughter falls for him!) starring Jane Powell, Farley Granger, Ann Miller, S.Z. Sakall, Robert Keith, Nat 'King' Cole, Billie Burke, and Bobby Van. Note that this movie is surely best remembered today for its wonderful sequence with Bobby Van "dances" to the music "Take Me to Broadway", jumping like a human pogo stick throughout the small town (it is included in "That's Entertainment"). Also note that there was a similar movie in 1936 with the same title, starring Robert Taylor and Janet Gaynor, but it was not the same as this movie, and had different writing. 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: This three-sheet was printed in 2 sections. Condition: good to very good. There is a Canadian censor stamp in the poster (see below). From the back you can see large areas of water staining near the center of the image but it has virtually no effect of the image. As is typical with older folded three-sheets. There is a Canadian censor stamp in an unobtrusive part of the poster in the bottom center edge. Note that this week on eBay eMoviePoster is selling hundreds of large-sized movie posters. Some of these (mostly three-sheets and six-sheets) were large enough that they were printed on two or more separate sheets (this was because the printing presses at that time could not print larger single sheets). Such posters are designed to overlap, and they have marks at the top and bottom of each section that show where the poster's pieces should be placed so that the poster image is correct. This presents are problem for us in photography! If we put the pieces of poster together prior to photography, it is very time consuming, and difficult to do without possibly damaging the poster, even a little bit. So instead, we photograph each piece of the poster separately, and then digitally combine the separate images, overlapping them so that the image views about the same as it would if the poster pieces were correctly placed together. BUT SINCE THE PIECES ARE SHOT SEPARATELY, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL THAT THE INDIVIDUAL PICTURES WILL HAVE DIFFERENT LIGHTING AND/OR BE A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SIZE! So sometimes our images of multi-piece posters will give you the impression that part of the poster is a different darkness or size from the rest of the poster. THIS IS NOT THE CASE! It is just the result of photographing the pieces separately. If the pieces DID have a different color or size, we would note that in the auction description! Learn More about condition grades
