An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) Dough Boys, the 1930 Edward Sedgwick World War I (WWI) military screwball comedy ("A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer ALL TALKING Picture"; "Buster Keaton in a Howitzer of Howls!"; "A barrage of laughs!"; "The big parade of roars!"; "Story by Al Boasberg and Sidney Lazarus"; Buster is a rich man who goes to the unemployment office to find a chauffeur, but it has been converted into a recruiting office, and he accidentally enlists, and of course, he is the world's worst soldier!; among other comic routines, he performs a ukulele duet with Cliff Edwards) starring Buster Keaton, Sally Eilers, Cliff Edwards, Edward Brophy, and Ann Sothern (in a bit part as a dancer). Note that the IMDb claims the title of this movie is "Doughboys". However, all the advertising we have seen from the first release of the movie clearly says "Dough Boys", so we think the IMDb is simply wrong.

Artist: Malcolm Eaton Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Note that Malcolm Eaton created the art for this poster, and it is very difficult to find information about him! A very knowledgeable collector pointed out that he created the art for several Buster Keaton films such as Doughboys, Parlor, Bedroom and Bath, Baby Cyclone, Spite Marriage, The Cameraman and more. It is an interesting coincidence that Malcolm seems to have regularly worked on Keaton films, and their last names are very similar. If anyone knows more about the Malcolm Eaton, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good to very good. The poster had been folded slightly below center unevenly, and there were many creases, separations, and tears along that line (which falls in the shoulders of Keaton and Eilers, and in the middle of the jacket and hands of Edwards). There were some creases, scuffs, pinholes, and some tiny tears around the edges of the card, with just a few scuffs and smudges scattered in the image. 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.
