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

Roman Scandals, the 1933 Frank Tuttle pre-Code historical Ancient Rome Italy romantic musical fantasy comedy (based on the story by George S. Kaufman, with a script by Kaufman and Robert E. Sherwood; musical numbers staged by Busby Berkeley, who was borrowed from Warner Bros., and he brought along many of his best dancers and showgirls; Berkeley managed to work with both studios by doing this movie at night while working at Warners during the day; produced by Samuel Goldwyn; about a delivery boy in "West Rome", a small town in middle America, who is hit on the head and wakes up in Ancient Rome where he is sold as a slave, and ends up at the royal palace, involved in much royal intrigue; after many adventures, he wakes up in the modern day, and he uses her new-found knowledge to become a hero!) starring Eddie Cantor, Ruth Etting, Gloria Stuart, David Manners, The Goldwyn Girls, Edward Arnold, Verree Teasdale, and Alan Mowbray. Note that Lucille Ball and Paulette Goddard were two of the "Goldwyn Girls" (this was in Lucille Ball's first year of making movies, when she had several uncredited appearances in roles like these!).

Important Added Info: Note that have only previously auctioned two other examples of this half-sheet, but those were both in much lesser condition! Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we think it would have a strong chance of lessening its condition, so we will only send it in a very large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage).

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had creases along the horizontal fold, with some fine surface paper loss on parts of both folds. It had some scuffs in the dark solid background area. It had tiny pinholes and some smudges around the edges, with creases in the corners. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
