An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Night of January Sixteenth (16th), the 1941 William Clemens romantic mystery crime thriller ("Based on the play by Ayn Rand") starring Robert Preston, Ellen Drew, Nils Asther, Margaret Hayes, Clarence Kolb, Alice White, Cecil Kellaway, and Cliff Nazarro. Note that legendary writer Ayn Rand arrived in the U.S. in 1925, and was able to get various jobs in Hollywood, but her first screenwriting sale was in 1932 to Universal Pictures of "Red Pawn" (which was never produced). In 1934, she wrote this play, which was on the stage in both Hollywood and Broadway, and it had the great gimmick where, near the end of the show, there would be an intermission, and a "jury" (selected from the audience) would vote for one two endings, and then the cast would perform the ending the audience's jury had voted for! When this was made into a film in 1941, the first movie made from one of Ayn Rand's works, the technology was not then available to make the gimmick work, so it had to be abandoned (of course, nowadays, with computers, it would be super simple to use this gimmick in a movie, and to have every member of the audience vote each performance!).
