An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Make Me a Star, the 1932 William Beaudine romantic screwball acting comedy ("It could only happen in Hollywood"; a wacky story of a man who goes to Hollywood wanting to become a western star, but he gets a chance and his acting is terrible; a pretty actress likes him, and she thinks he could be a funny comedian, but he doesn't want to do it, so she lies to him and tells him he has a role in a western when it is really a comedy western, where he is intended to play a bumbling cowboy, which he does well without intending to!) starring Joan Blondell, Stuart Erwin, Zasu Pitts, Ben Turpin, and features cameo appearances by Gary Cooper, Tallulah Bankhead, Clive Brook, Maurice Chevalier, Claudette Colbert, Phillips Holmes, Fredric March and more! Note that Phillips Holmes had made an impression in some movies in the late 1920s. In 1931, he would get the lead in the first version of "An American Tragedy", which made it seem like he would become a major star, but that didn't materialize. He had a major affair with Libby Holman, but that was certainly complicated, and when they broke up, she immediately married his brother! Oddly, years later, Holman would have another very complicated affair with Montgomery Clift, who played the same part in the remake of "An American Tragedy", retitled "A Place in the Sun". Sadly, Holmes died in a plane crash in 1942. I am very surprised no one has made a movie about his life, or a joint movie about him and Libby Holman! 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 this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 insert posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 insert posters (note that most post-1970 inserts were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those inserts). Condition: good to very good. The poster has somewhat darkened. There are some creases and tears of varying lengths around the edges of the poster (1" or less). A few of the defects as described above are repaired with tape from the back. The poster is otherwise in generally nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
