An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Something for the Boys, the 1944 Lewis Seiler (billed on some items as "Lew Seiler") World War II (WWII) home front musical comedy starring Carmen Miranda, Michael O'Shea, Vivian Blaine ("The Cherry Blonde"), Phil Silvers, Sheila Ryan, Perry Como, and Glenn Langan NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Alberto Vargas Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare half-sheet poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning, and as noted below, it has great Alberto Vargas art of Vivian Blaine at the center, and his signature is printed by her image so there is no doubt that he drew it! Also note that 20th Century Fox hired some of the most famous pin-up artists to draw the various posters for this movie, and, unlike other similar cases, they hired a different famous artist to draw each poster! The ones we have identified so far are the one-sheet (drawn by Earl Moran), the window card (drawn by Zoe Mozert), and the half-sheet and the look-alike title card (drawn by Alberto Vargas)! If anyone knows of other artwork posters from this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It has a few light creases, and some smudges and light scuffs mostly around the edges, pretty typical for half-sheet posters of this time period that were likely displayed at one time. The ultra-rare poster is otherwise in generally nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
