Date Sold 4/4/2019Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Unfolded Photographic Blow Up (measures 29 1/2" x 60" [75 x 152 cm]) (Learn More) Richard Tregaskis' Guadalcanal Diary, the 1943 Lewis Seiler World War II (WWII) military Pacific Islands action thriller starring Preston Foster, Lloyd Nolan, William Bendix, Richard Conte, Anthony Quinn, Richard Jaeckel (16 years old and in his first movie!), and Ralph Byrd. Note that director Lewis Seiler had an interesting background! Starting in 1923, he directed a series of around a dozen movies for William Fox, each using chimps acting in "human" roles. After that, he stayed with William Fox and worked on some of the Tom Mix movies, and then switched to Warner Bros., and was involved in some of their gangster movies, like Crime School. In 1943, he directed this movie, which is widely considered one of the very best Hollywood movies about World War II, made during the war! 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 is a photographic blow up that was created when the movie first played (it shows William Bendix shaving in the South Pacific while admiring the iconic pinup image of Betty Grable that was everywhere in World War II!). Theaters would order these from regional companies and display them around town in store windows or in the windows of the theater. Because of their size, very few survive! We will pack this poster between four super heavy 32" x 62" boards that we have purchased for $5 each, meaning that the cost of packaging this poster is $20 (because of the expense of the large cardboard). VERY IMPORTANT! This poster will likely cost around $100 total to send within the U.S. via ground UPS (but of course, we will only charge the actual cost of shipping) plus the above stated $20 for the packaging materials (we are also auctioning similar size posters that could be packed together with this one, and if so, the shipping per poster will come down drastically). Please bear this shipping cost in mind before placing a bid on this poster (and it would surely cost hundreds of dollars to send it out of the United States, so we ask that no one bid on this poster unless they can accept delivery of it within the U.S.). Note that this item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package. Most of these items absolutely can only be sent in flat packages, and could not possibly be rolled into a tube. Some of them might SEEM like they could be rolled in a tube, like a half-sheet, but they can't. The reason these items are in this auction is specifically because they CAN'T be rolled (because rolling any of them would damage them, even if they somehow can be rolled). So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item when ready for shipping), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it. IN THE CASE OF EXTREMELY LARGE FLAT ITEMS, THE SHIPPING COST WILL BE VERY HIGH, SO PLEASE DO NOT BID WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT THAT ADDED SHIPPING AMOUNT, AND INCLUDE THAT AMOUNT IN WHAT YOU BID (so if you would pay $150, but the shipping is likely $100, then only bid $50). And those who live outside the U.S. and who do not have a U.S. address to ship to SHOULD NOT BID AT ALL ON EXTREMELY LARGE FLAT ITEMS, BECAUSE THEY COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO SEND OUTSIDE THE U.S. Condition: good. There is some surface paper loss and scuffing scattered in small parts of the poster. There is also some wear around the edges (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
