An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Other Company Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Women in the Wind, the 1939 John Farrow airplane aviation aviatrix romantic melodrama ("From the novel by Francis Walton"; about a female aviatrix who has a pilot brother who was crippled in a crash, and she needs to get money for his operation, and to do so, she must win a Burbank to Cleveland race, but she can only do it by getting a specially made airplane, and she not only wins the race, but also the love of fellow pilot William Gargan) starring Kay Francis, William Gargan, Victor Jory, Eddie Foy Jr., Max 'Slapsie Maxie' Rosenbloom, Sheila Bromley, and Eve Arden 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 was printed by the "other company". This was a company in the Midwest that from roughly 1936 to roughly 1941 printed its own one-sheets and lobby card sets (and a very few inserts, half-sheets, three-sheets, 40x60s and stills) for three major studio movies (Warner Brothers, Paramount and United Artists, but no other studios). The posters and lobby cards are from the original release of the movie, and almost always have completely different artwork from the regular studio release. They never have the name of the releasing studio on the poster or any of the lobby cards, but many years later, noted poster dealer/historian Walter Reuben discovered that the name of the company was "Associated Displays Corporation" and that they were based in Manhattan, New York (oddly, no collectors knew the name of this company for decades!). Sometimes, "other company" posters or lobby cards have images that are the equal of those from the regular studio release posters or lobby cards! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. There is much tape on the back of the vertical foldline and the right half of the horizontal fold. There are many creases, scuffs, and thin areas of surface paper loss on both foldlines, and pinholes and stains around the edges. See our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this poster. Learn More about condition grades
