Auction History Result 4v889 STAND-IN 1/2sh R48 Leslie Howard, Joan Blondell, super close up of Humphrey Bogart! Date Sold 4/21/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1948) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) Stand-In, the 1937 Tay Garnett Hollywood California movie-making acting stage comedy ("A merry satire on dizzy Hollywood!"; "Based on the Saturday Evening Post Story by Clarence Budington Kelland") starring Leslie Howard, Joan Blondell, Humphrey Bogart, Alan Mowbray, Marla Shelton, C. Henry Gordon, and Jack Carson. Note that Bogart made this movie immediately after "Dead End" (and a year after "The Petrified Forest"), but he was still so little thought of by Hollywood that he was third billed in this movie, and was not pictured on the original paper! It was not until "Casablanca" and "The Maltese Falcon" that Bogart became a first level superstar. This movie was later re-released, headlining Humphrey Bogart, with a large image of him on the posters! 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, in the mid to late 1940s, this movie was given a major re-release, no doubt due to Humphrey Bogart's rise to stardom in such movies as "The Maltese Falcon" and "Casablanca", and of course, for this re-release, it is presented as a Humphrey Bogart movie, and poor Leslie Howard, who had died patriotically in a plane crash during World War II, is not even billed or pictured, even though he was the actual star of the movie! Also note that this poster has never been machine folded! Most half-sheet posters were folded once horizontally and once vertically right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded example of most half-sheets, especially from before Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
