An Original 1938 (from the first release of this movie in Italy) Vintage Theatrical Folded Italian Two-Panel (known in Italy as a "4 Fogli") Movie Poster (2p; measures 55" x 78" [140 x 198 cm]) (Learn More) Fly-Away Baby, the 1937 Frank McDonald airplane aviation crime mystery newspaper reporter journalist comedy (one of a series with the same main character) starring Glenda Farrell (as Torchy Blane), Barton MacLane, Gordon Oliver, Hugh O'Connell, Marcia Ralston, and Tom Kennedy. Note that the first Torchy Blane movie was made in 1937, called "Smart Blonde", and it starred Glenda Farrell in the lead role. There were a total of nine Torchy Blane movies. Farrell played the lead in seven of them. In two of the ones near the end of the series, Jane Wyman and Lola Lane filled in for Farrell, perhaps because she had other commitments. The series only lasted for two years, but was quite popular. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Luigi Martinati Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare Italian poster from during World War II (we have never auctioned it before)! Virtually no Italian posters survive from before, during, or right after World War II (mostly only some heavy stock lobby cards, and even those are rare). Apparently there were many paper shortages in Italy during World War II, resulting in the destruction of almost all posters from before World War II, and also from during the war, and the first few years afterwards! Also note that this Italian two-panel was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Condition: good to very good. There are some small brown stains scattered in parts of the borders. There are also some on the back of small parts of some folds, but they hardly show through to the front in the image, only in the border areas. After a relatively simple linenbacking, the poster will look fantastic! Learn More about condition grades
