An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More)

Ali Baba Goes to Town, the 1937 David Butler romantic musical Arabian fantasy comedy ("Suggested by a story by Gene Towne, Graham Baker, and Gene Fowler") starring Eddie Cantor (in the title role as Ali Baba), Tony Martin, Roland Young, June Lang, Gypsy Rose Lee (in her second movie and billed as "Louise Hovick"), Raymond Scott Quintet (billed as "Raymond Scott and his Quintet"), John Carradine, Virginia Field, Alan Dinehart, Douglass Dumbrille, The Peters Sisters, and Jeni Le Gon

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 paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards.

Condition: good to very good. The poster had pinholes, creases, smudges, stains, tears, and some paper loss around the edges of the poster, and some around the edges of the image. There was a vertical tear running from the "A" of "CANTOR" down into the left side of Cantor's face, and some smudges in Cantor's face. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, because you can see slight signs of the restoration of the above defects, but from a reasonable viewing distance, they are not very distracting, and the poster does not have a "restored" look.
