An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

Banjo On My Knee, the 1936 John Cromwell romantic riverboat musical rich-man-poor-girl marriage comedy ("He's not a drinking man, but what a thirst he has for adventure!"; "Based on a novel by Harry Hamilton"; Joel McCrea is rich Walter Brennan's son, and Brennan wants a grandson really bad, but McCrea marries way beneath him with "land girl" Stanwyck, but worse yet, they can't seem to consummate their marriage) starring Barbara Stanwyck, Joel McCrea, Helen Westley, Buddy Ebsen (in his fourth movie role!), Walter Brennan, Walter Catlett, Tony Martin (billed as "Anthony Martin"), Katherine DeMille, and Victor Kilian. Note that this is a full musical, and Stanwyck sings and dance for perhaps the only time in her career!

Important Added Info: Note that first release 1936 movie posters from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a half-sheet, and no other first release posters, from this movie until we received this poster, and it is the only first release one-sheet we have ever auctioned! Also, note that this poster was one of the posters found in the legendary Royal Theatre Collection, in Canada over 40 years ago. This was the most amazing find of 1930s and 1940s posters ever, because not only were most in remarkable condition (most with paper that was as white as when it was printed), but also because it contained many of the best titles of those years, and there were many thousands of posters and lobby cards in all. Despite these having been sold over 40 years ago, many of these posters have rarely again been offered for sale or at auction. The poster offered here was purchased from the Royal Theatre Collection!

Condition: very good to fine. The poster has a tiny pinhole on the vertical fold 2" above the middle crossfold. It has pinholes in the corners and the most minor of fold and border wear. Otherwise, it is in excellent condition!
