An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) International News was one of the series of newsreels released by Universal Studios from at least the early 1920s through 1967. The earliest newsreels we know of were called "International News", and Universal made one-sheets for those that had a series of headlines on them, but no image except for a cool border design (each newsreel ran from 7 to 10 minute newsreels that were released twice a week). Nearly all of them were filmed in black and white, and many were narrated by Ed Herlihy. In the 1930s and 1940s, they were called "Universal News Reel" and the posters for those also had headlines, and sometimes small images. In the 1950s and 1960s, they were called "Universal-International News". In 1976, the films' owner, MCA, made the unusual decision to turn over ownership of all of the newsreels to the National Archives. The decision effectively ended Universal's copyright claim, releasing the films into the public domain. Because royalties no longer have to be paid in order to broadcast them, Universal Newsreels have become a popular source of file footage in recent years. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the news items included in this 1929 newsreel were "Epic rescue filmed as 90 are saved at sea! Magnificent spectacle when Pan American saves crew of the stranded President Garfield", "German soldiers use skis! Reichswehr troops learn how to travel on boards for Alpine duty", "First cruiser launched since end of the war! 'Salt Lake City', which cost Uncle Sam &11,000,000, is expected to make 33 knots an hour", Explorer Nansen arrives. He's 67, but plans an arctic trip on the dirigible Graf Zeppelin", and "Rousing Welcome for Mr. Hoover in Florida. President-elect and wife look over their temporary home on belle isle, at Miami Beach"! We know this is from 1929 because Fridtjof Nansen died in 1930 at the age of 68, which would have made him 67 in 1929. Condition: good. The poster is somewhat brittle and there are water stains along the foldlines and around the edges. There is approximately 1" of separation in the center crossfold and some minor separation at the ends of some foldlines. Learn More about condition grades
