An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Autographed One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

The People vs. Dr. Kildare (released outside the U.S. as "My Life is Yours"), the 1941 Harold S. Bucquet doctor hospital courtroom legal lawyer medical malpractice melodrama sequel ("#7 The case of the girl with the million dollar legs!"; one of the very popular series of movies featuring this character and his crusty old mentor, Dr. Gillespie; about a champion ice skater who breaks her leg in a car crash and Dr. Kildare is a Good Samaritan at the scene who operates on her, but after she recovers, her leg is paralyzed, and she sues him and the hospital for $100,000, which was a jillion times more money in 1941!) starring Lew Ayres (in the title role as Doctor James Kildare), Lionel Barrymore (as Doctor Gillespie), Laraine Day (as Nurse Mary Lamont), Bonita Granville (as an ice skater who sues Kildare), Alma Kruger, Red Skelton (in his fifth movie!), Paul Stanton, Diana Lewis, and Dwight Frye (here he is unbilled, and plays the jury foreman!). Certainly, the plot of this movie is just as relevant today as it was in 1941, and this movie could easily be re-made today!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been personally autographed (signed) by Laraine Day ! This poster was consigned to us by a collector who believes the autograph to be genuine, and we agree with him (or else we would not be offering it). But we have no "certificate of authenticity", so please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept a degree of uncertainty as to whether the autograph is genuine.

Condition: good to very good. There is approximately 1 1/4" of separation and tattering at the top crossfold and there are lesser amounts of separation at the crossfolds and some of the ends of the foldlines (some repaired with tape from the back). There is a fine scratch in the "K" in "KILDARE" in the title at upper left. There are some tack holes around the edges of the poster and there is some tattering around the edges. There is a small piece of yellowed tape on the front and back of the left and right of the top edge of the poster, but it does not appear to be there for any restoration purpose. The poster is otherwise in generally nice condition.
