Cohan"; a clever story of a writer who bets a friend that he can complete his novel within 24 hours, and he goes to a secluded inn to be sure to have peace and quiet, but of course, there are all kinds of goings on at the inn, plus he meets a beautiful young woman as well!) starring Vincent Price, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, John Carradine (the only movie ever to cast all four of them!), Desi Arnaz Jr., Julie Peasgood, Richard Todd, and Sheila Keith. Note that this was a very popular George M. Cohan play that was filmed many times in the 1910s through the 1930s. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Batchelled Important Added Info: This is a very rare uncut printer's test poster (often referred to as a "printer's proof")! Before a poster was printed in large quantities, the printer would print a limited number of posters as "test" posters. Because they needed to be shown to people at the studio, people in the art department, the stars, etc, they would print a number of test posters and distribute them to these people. Some of them would be fully trimmed, but often they would leave the color chart on the left edge of many of the posters, which added an extra inch to the width of the poster (which explains why the poster measures 28" x 41"). Once these printer's test posters were shown to the various people in a position to "OK" them, the printer would print the full print run of the posters. Not only is a printer's test poster far more rare than a regular poster, but it is also 100% genuine as there is no fear of purchasing a reproduction! Note that this poster measures 30" x 42" [76 x 107 cm]. Condition: good to very good. There are some creases and scuff marks scattered throughout the poster. Learn More about condition grades
