A 1952 Re-Release Theatrical Unfolded Movie Paper Banner (measures 24" x 82" [61 x 208 cm]) (Learn More)

Ernest Hemingway's To Have and Have Not, the classic 1944 Howard Hawks World War II (WWII) romantic suspense melodrama ("Humphrey Bogart... with his kind of woman in a powerful adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's most daring man-woman story!"; very loosely adapted from the classic story by Ernest Hemingway, "Screen Play by Jules Furthman and William Faulkner"; "If you want anything mister, ...just whistle!"; "It happens this way.."; "In love with his kind of woman!"; this was the movie where middle-aged Humphrey Bogart met 19 year old Lauren Bacall, and won her romantically, both on and off the screen) starring Humphrey Bogart, Walter Brennan, Lauren Bacall (in her very first movie role!), Hoagy Carmichael, Sheldon Leonard, Dan Seymour, Dolores Moran, Marcel Dalio, and Walter Sande. Note that this movie was not very faithful to Ernest Hemingway's story. Just six years later, Warner Bros. remade the movie with John Garfield and Patricia Neal, and this time they were more faithful to the story.

Important Added Info: Note that we have previously auctioned a paper banner from the 1956 re-release of this movie, and it has virtually the same image as this poster, but this one is from four years earlier, and we have never auctioned it before! Also note that in the 1910s through 1930s, studios would make large cloth banners that movie theaters could hang up above their lobbies (or above their entrances). In the early 1940s, they changed to making paper banners (perhaps there was a cloth shortage during World War II). At first, they were made of one-sheet-like paper, and they didn't survive very well, and they apparently were not very popular, because very few survive. At some point around 1946, they changed to making them out of a heavy paper stock, similar to that used for 40x60s, but measuring 24" x 80". Many people think these became very popular at drive-in theaters, which were then expanding at a major pace throughout the country. The paper banners were very popular until the late 1960s, and then far fewer were made (perhaps corresponding to the decline in popularity of drive-in theaters).

Note that this poster is very long, but because it is not very wide, it can be sent in a regular size tube. However, it can NOT be combined with other rolled posters, and must be either sent by itself (or combined with other paper banners that are exactly like this). Please bear this in mind before bidding on this poster.

Condition: good to very good. The poster has a few creases and scuff marks scattered in various areas and a few edge defects. Overall the paper banner has survived in much nicer condition than many other paper banners of this time period and is in generally nice condition.
