An Undated (probably early 1940s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Folded Canadian One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 26" x 42" [66 x 107 cm]) (Learn More)

Swing Time, the 1936 George Stevens romantic love triangle musical dancing comedy ("With six new haunting melodies by Jerome Kern composer of 'Roberta'"; "Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers in the captivating climax of their gay young lives!..."; about a man and woman who are supposed to marry others, but they end up falling in love with each other) starring Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Victor Moore, Helen Broderick, Eric Blore, Betty Furness, Georges Metaxa, and Dennis O'Keefe. Note that this was one of the nine wonderful movies that Astaire and Rogers made between 1933 and 1939 (they made one final movie, "The Barkleys of Broadway", thirteen years later in 1949).

Important Added Info: Note that this is an unusual poster! It looks like it might be from a 1936 Canadian release of this classic RKO movie, but it is a different size from the U.S. poster, and it was printed in Canada, and since I know that Canadian theaters used U.S. posters in the 1930s, I think it is extremely likely that it is NOT from 1936. I think it is far more likely that when World War II caused the major Hollywood studios to lose distribution in Europe, and also caused them to lose most of their top stars to the war, they likely made a deal with Canadian distributors to re-release their classic movies in Canada at some point during those war years. This is further reinforced by the fact that other Canadian posters like this have surfaced over the years, and they are usually from classic RKO movies from throughout the 1930s, and they are often found together, but printed on very similar paper, making it far more likely they were printed at the same time. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this poster measures 26" x 42" [66 x 107 cm]. Finally, 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 to very good. There are creases scattered throughout the poster. There is some very light uneven discoloration in the white background areas from the poster being stored folded for a long period of time. There are a few pin holes and 1" and smaller tears around the edges of the poster. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition and its colors are still vibrant and if one chose to have it restored it would look fantastic!
