An Original Vintage Special Movie Poster (measures 29 1/2" x 60" [75 x 152 cm]) (Learn More)

The Miracle of Morgan's Creek, the classic 1944 Preston Sturges romantic pregnancy screwball comedy ("Here's the Funniest Picture Ever Made!"; "Famous comics say... The funniest picture ever!"; "The True Story of Trudy Kockenlocker who kissed the Boys Goodbye... Regiment By Regiment"; "Bob Hope says... 'The best film I ever tasted- I ate it up!'"; "In Paramount's Miracle of Mirth!") starring Eddie Bracken ("The miracle man who rocked the world - with laughter!"), Betty Hutton, Diana Lynn, William Demarest, Porter Hall, Brian Donlevy (billed as "McGinty", which is a reference to the role he played in Sturges' earlier hit The Great McGinty), Akim Tamiroff (billed as "The Boss", which is a reference to the role he played in Sturges' earlier hit The Great McGinty), and Frank Moran. I don't recall EVER seeing an actor billed in a movie where his name is left off of the poster entirely! I suppose Sturges thought this was very funny, and likely Donlevy and Tamiroff agreed to do it because he asked them!

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we have seen special posters like this before. They are "color photographic blow-ups" mounted on heavy boards that theaters could order from regional companies. They are usually 40" x 60". We wonder if this one had 5" trimmed both from the left and right. It has something that other ones like this don't have, which is a glued on area at bottom with the title and credits (see our image). Note that this poster cannot be folded or rolled in any way, so it must be sent in a VERY large flat package that would be expensive to send. Please bear this in mind before bidding on this poster.

Condition: good. The poster may have been trimmed on the left and right. It has some damage around the edges and scuffs and tiny bits of surface paper loss in the background, but nothing major. Please do not bid on this poster unless you have read the above and looked closely at our super-sized images.
