An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28") (Learn More)

Washington Merry Go Round, the 1932 James Cruze United States Capitol political corruption melodrama ("Daring expose that will rock the nation!"; "It rips the lid off!"; "Story by Maxwell Anderson"; about an honest congressman who is newly elected, and is shocked to discover all the corruption in Washington; Columbia would revisit this exact plot in the classic "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" in 1939) starring Lee Tracy, Constance Cummings, Walter Connolly, Clarence Muse, Arthur Vinton, Frank Sheridan, and Berton Churchill. Note that Columbia bought the rights to a best-selling book, but then solely used the title and hired great screenwriter Maxwell Anderson to completely rewrite the story.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we think it would almost certainly damage it, so we will only send it in a large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage).

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had many defects, but it had never been folded. It had scattered brown stains in the top quarter of the poster, and also brown stains and nail holes around the edges. It also had tears and tiny areas of paper loss around the edges, with larger surface paper loss in the lower left border, mostly in the blank border, but slightly extending into the edge of the Columbia logo. There were some smudges and scuffs scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was nicely backed by a really talented restorer, and it looks and displays great, although you can see slight signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
