An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More)

Miss Grant Takes Richmond, the 1949 Lloyd Bacon romantic con man gambling bookie real estate comedy ("The most hilarious girl-takes-boy escapade of the year!"; "This GRANT has an encircling movement all her own!"; "A new slant on a very old feeling!"; "She was never so insulted in all her life ...and it was wonderful!"; about an incredibly naive secretary who goes to work for a con man posing as a real estate salesman, but he is really a bookie, and the police close in on him and the secretary helps him to go legitimate and of course, they fall in love as well!) starring Lucille Ball (in title role as Ellen Grant), William Holden, Janis Carter, James Gleason, Gloria Henry, Frank McHugh, George Cleveland, and Stephen Dunne. Note that this movie borrows heavily from the 1937 movie "Don't Tell The Wife", a movie in which Lucille Ball, star of this movie, had a small role!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets).

Condition: fair to good. There is patchy discoloration scattered in a few areas of the poster due to exposure to moisture. There are many significant defects scattered along the edges of the poster, and there is much wear and paper loss along the foldlines and there are several areas of foldline and/or crossfold separation. Many of the defects have been repaired with tape from the back that slightly bleeds through to the front. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid and please do not bid unless you can accept the defects described above, or you are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
