An Original Undated (likely 1942; see below) Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Personality Poster (measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Errol Flynn was one of Hollywood's leading action stars of the late 1930s and 1940s. Though his private life contained sexual scandals (most famously his statutory rape trial, in which he was acquitted and which gave the world the phrase "In like Flynn"!), he is best remembered by movie buffs for his roles in great Warner Bros. pictures like: The Adventures of Robin Hood, The Sea Hawk, Captain Blood, Gentleman Jim, and many more classics! He passed away in 1959 at the age of 50. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the poster was never folded. Most of the studios stopped making 22" x 28" personality posters in the mid-1930s. In the early 1940s, Warner Bros. issued a set, few of which survive. One of these was the portrait of Dennis Morgan, which is offered here. It is undated, but because it is printed on a "linen" paper (which Warner Bros. pretty much stopped using in 1942), and judging from the Warner Bros. logo and the image of Morgan, I would say it dates close to 1942. Condition: very good to fine. The poster has a tiny circular brown stain in the upper left border, tiny pinholes in the corners, and some very minor border wear. Otherwise, the poster is in nice condition, all the more unusual because it is a Warner Bros. linen poster (it has clearly darkened, and it is not at all fragile, as is usually found in Warner Bros. linen half-sheets and lobby cards from this period).
