An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Boom Town, the 1940 Jack Conway Texas oil drilling romantic love triangle adventure melodrama ("Devil-May-Care Men Fought For Girls And Gold"; "The big all-star dramatic sensation!"; "Based on the story by James Edward Grant") starring Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Claudette Colbert, Hedy Lamarr, Frank Morgan, Lionel Atwill, Chill Wills, Minna Gombell, Marion Martin, and Carlotta Monti (who is in the film but not credited on IMDb). Note that in the very late 1930s and early 1940s, MGM had so many major stars under contract that they could put four of their biggest in a single movie, as they did with this great one! 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: Note that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 insert posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 insert posters (note that most post-1970 inserts were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those inserts). Condition: fair to good. The poster was never folded. It has paper loss in the left corners, and some pinholes, tears, and smudges around the edges. Some idiot put pencil lines on the upper lips of Tracy, Colbert, and Lamarr (they apparently spared Gable because he already had a mustache). There is also a pencil mark on Colbert's chin and a diagonal scuff mark to the right of her chin, with some other scuffs scattered in the poster. All of the pencil marks and scuff marks are thin and fine, but I don't know how easy or difficult it would be to restore them (surely they can't be simply removed with an eraser), so bear all of the poster's defects in mind before placing a bid on this poster.
