He made a very long series of highly successful comedies from the late 1920s through the late 1930s, and then resurfaced in 1959 with a very memorable role in "Some Like It Hot" and he had a memorable cameo role in "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World". Prior to his film career, he worked in vaudeville, the circus, and even as a baseball player! He was asked to join the New York Yankees, but he declined in order to focus on his career in entertainment. Interestingly, he played a baseball player in 1933's "Elmer, the Great". Brown passed away in 1973 at the age of 80. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a Belgian "stock" poster created by Warner Bros. in the 1940s for use by theaters showing Belgian re-releases of their 1930s Joe E. Brown movies in the 1940s. Theaters would order this poster, which had a large blank rectangle at bottom center. Sometimes the studio would overprint the stock poster with the title of a specific movie, and sometimes they sent a series of large paper snipes with the titles of specific entries of the series, so the theater could paste in each snipe as needed, thus getting many posters for the price of one. Sometimes stock posters are found with blank snipe areas. Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Also note that this Belgian poster measures 14" x 21". Condition: good. Note that there is much masking tape on the back of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
