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 Dorothy Lamour! Our consignor met Miss Lamour at a charity event in the early 1980s. His friend was the stage manager and took him backstage, and she signed this window card (and also his "Road to Bali" window card, which we are auctioning in a separate auction). As she was signing the two posters, our consignor said to her "It must have been great working with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby". She looked up at him and said "They screwed me out of every dollar they could"! He does not have a certificate of authenticity, but we are certain the signature is authentic.

Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded.

As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction.

Condition: good to very good.
