An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Style B Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) The Milky Way, the 1936 Leo McCarey & Norman Z. McLeod boxing sports romantic screwball comedy ("He could whip his weight in cream!"; "Based upon the play by Lynn Root and Harry Clork"; this might be Harold Lloyd's best sound movie!; he plays a mild-mannered milkman whose sister is accosted by two men, and he gets in the middle of them, and he ducks their punches so well that they knock each other out; since one is the middleweight boxing champion, and the other his sparring partner, Lloyd is declared a great boxer, and, at a press conference to tell what happened, the men again manage to knock each other out, so the press arrives to Lloyd and the two unconscious men; after many plot twists, during which Lloyd is given set-up fights so he can lose a championship fight to the champ, the movie ends happily!) starring Harold Lloyd, Adolphe Menjou, Verree Teasdale, Helen Mack, William Gargan, and George Barbier 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 poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we think it would almost certainly damage it, so we will only send it in a large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage).

It had darkened slightly but otherwise was in really nice condition prior to paperbacking. After it was backed, it was roughly handled, and it acquired creases in the bottom left corner and the top right corner, with the tiniest of paper loss in the other two corners. These defects are only in the corners and are not that distracting, and certainly, a restorer could touch up those areas with or without re-backing the poster. Learn More about condition grades
