An Undated (probably 1948) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (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 1948, 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 on the regular poster, even though he was the actual star of the movie! This is a local theater poster (it was not printed by the studio), and local theater posters can certainly be from the first release of a film. However, as Bogart is top-billed and this did not happen until the 1948 re-release, this poster is certainly not from the first release. Condition: good. There is tattering and small paper loss along the foldlines and around the edges of the poster with some repaired with tape from the back. There are some creases and smudges scattered throughout the poster. Learn More about condition grades
