An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Candid Microphone, the 1949 series of comedy shorts based on Allen Funt's radio program ("Movies' most intriguing short!"; "Filmed with concealed cameras!"; "Another laugh-filled entertainment thrill!"; many people are not aware that prior to his extremely successful TV show, "Candid Camera", Allen Funt had a very successful radio show called "Candid Microphone"). Columbia Pictures made a series of short subjects based on the radio show (we are not sure if they stuck with the radio premise, or switched to what became the basis of the TV show, which certainly made more sense!), which no doubt led to the start of the television program, which ran for many years, and Funt's son, Peter, had a new version of the show in recent years. Note that this is for one specific entry in this series of shorts. Apparently, Columbia made individual lobby cards and one-sheets for every entry, but they are incredibly rare!

We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning (and move paper for this series is very rare - see above)! Condition: fair. The poster has slight discoloration along portions of the folds due to exposure to moisture and some of the moisture has caused separation and paper loss in portions of those folds (see our image). It has slight discoloration scattered in various areas and it has unevenly darkened in some other areas. After proper restoration the poster will look fantastic, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it. Learn More about condition grades
