An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Italian Movie Poster (measures 45" x 63 1/2" [114 x 161 cm]) (Learn More) Whistling in the Dark, the 1941 S. Sylvan Simon radio detective crime murder slapstick comedy ("Surprise comedy hit of the year! Don't miss it!"; "Laugh while your spine tingles!"; "Based upon the play by Laurence Gross and Edward Childs Carpenter"; about a radio detective who is kidnapped with his girlfriend by crooks, who demand that he plan the perfect crime for them; one of three movies where Red Skelton played the same radio detective, all with similar plots) starring Red Skelton, Conrad Veidt, Ann Rutherford, Virginia Grey, 'Rags' Ragland, Henry O'Neill, and Eve Arden NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Morino Important Added Info: Note that this poster measures close in size to a French one-panel, and yet it is clearly an Italian poster (all Italian writing and a stamp on the back that reads "3 FOGLI"). More curious, it is printed on two separate pieces, designed to overlap. If this movie played in Italy in 1941, then it is quite possible that the posters for it were printed in France, giving how much Italy was in turmoil at this time, and that could explain the odd size, and the fact that it couldn't be printed on one piece. It also is of course possible that the movie played in Italy right after World War II, and a lack of printing presses in Italy at that time could also explain the odd size (and the need to print in France in two pieces). If anyone knows more about this poster or this movie's Italian release, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good. There are creases, tiny tears, and separations on parts of many foldlines and tiny paper loss at some crossfolds. There are some creases, smudges, tiny tears, faint water stains, and many pinholes in the borders. Learn More about condition grades
