Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Half-Sheet (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More)

Sons of the Desert, the classic 1933 Lloyd French & William A. Seiter Hawaii screwball husbands-and-wives comedy (produced by Hal Roach; likely the very best Laurel & Hardy movie, this is the one where they sneak off to a Sons of the Desert convention and play ukuleles and sing "Honolulu Baby", but they lie to their wives and are reported dead in a ship sinking, and much more!) starring Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy (Laurel and Hardy), Charley Chase (primarily remembered as a great silent comedian who appeared in 276 movies, most of them comedy shorts, Chase also directed 140 comedy shorts), Mae Busch, and Dorothy Christy

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Condition: very good. The poster has been paperbacked (which means it has been mounted onto a cardboard backing by Studio C, the leading restoration studio). Prior to restoration, the poster had small portions of all four blank borders (ranging from 1/8" to 1/2") trimmed off (nothing that was trimmed affected any writing or image; it was entirely blank paper that was trimmed). There were also water stains within the image area. I instructed the people at Studio C to do minimal restoration, which meant chemically removing as much of the water stains as possible, and then only touching up the remaining slight stains, but not doing wholesale re-painting! The result is a poster that looks wonderful, and has not had much restoration. If you look very closely, you can see areas that had touch-up, but from any distance away, the restoration is invisible. There is actually only a small percentage of the poster that has been restored (which is the way I always prefer posters to be restored).
