Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style A Six-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 81" x 81") (Learn More) Pacific Blackout (also released as "Midnight Angel"), the 1941 Ralph Murphy World War II (WWII) crime murder mystery thriller ("THRILLING As Today's Headlines!"; "Based on a story by Franz Spencer and Curt Siodmak"; a routine murder mystery about a man sentenced to death, who escapes prison and tries to find the people who have framed him; it seems likely that the plot was enlarged to make him the inventor of a type of anti-aircraft gun, and to set the movie during a practice blackout on the west coast because the movie was being made right at the time of Pearl Harbor, and the movie likely capitalized on people's fears of a west coast Japanese invasion!) starring Robert Preston, Martha O'Driscoll, Philip Merivale, Eva Gabor, and Spencer Charters 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: This six-sheet was printed in 4 sections. Condition: very good. The outside (lower right) piece (when the poster is folded up) has lots of pencil writing and minor staining on the outside, but it has no effect on the front. There are creases in the foldlines and alongside the foldlines. There are several. Note that this week on eBay eMoviePoster is selling hundreds of large-sized movie posters. Some of these (mostly three-sheets and six-sheets) were large enough that they were printed on two or more separate sheets (this was because the printing presses at that time could not print larger single sheets). Such posters are designed to overlap, and they have marks at the top and bottom of each section that show where the poster's pieces should be placed so that the poster image is correct. This presents are problem for us in photography! If we put the pieces of poster together prior to photography, it is very time consuming, and difficult to do without possibly damaging the poster, even a little bit. So instead, we photograph each piece of the poster separately, and then digitally combine the separate images, overlapping them so that the image views about the same as it would if the poster pieces were correctly placed together. BUT SINCE THE PIECES ARE SHOT SEPARATELY, THERE IS THE POTENTIAL THAT THE INDIVIDUAL PICTURES WILL HAVE DIFFERENT LIGHTING AND/OR BE A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT SIZE! So sometimes our images of multi-piece posters will give you the impression that part of the poster is a different darkness or size from the rest of the poster. THIS IS NOT THE CASE! It is just the result of photographing the pieces separately. If the pieces DID have a different color or size, we would note that in the auction description! Learn More about condition grades
