Date Sold 1/7/2016Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1940s) Re-Release Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Mr. Washington Goes to Town, the 1941 William Beaudine black African American all-black-cast comedy (a parody of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, which had been released two years earlier) starring F.E. Miller (Flourney E. Miller), Mantan Moreland, Marguerite Whitten, Maceo Bruce Sheffield, Sam Warren, Edward Boyd, and Arthur Ray. Note that seasoned director William Beaudine actually directed this film (because he needed the money), but didn't want credit so as to avoid being associated with a low-budget all-black-cast film, so producer Jeb Buell put his name as the director on all the movie paper! Also note that Flourney Miller was a major figure in black Broadway musical history, performing and writing with his partner Aubrey Lyles. After Lyles passed away in 1933, Miller appeared in a number of all-black movies in the 1930s and 1940s. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that Toddy Pictures acquired the rights to this 1941 Dixie Nat'l Film Exchange movie, and re-released it in the 1940s. Because the Toddy Pictures posters are not marked as being a re-issue in any way, they are often mistakenly sold as originals, but they are in fact from the 1940s re-release!
UPDATED 01/04/2016: Note that we have updated the Film Description and Important Added Info section with additional information. Condition: fair to good. There are many significant defects scattered along the edges of the poster, and there is wear and bits of paper loss along the foldlines and there are many areas of foldline and/or crossfold separation. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
