An Undated (probably 1950s) Re-Release Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Big Store, the 1941 Charles Reisner screwball comedy ("Gorgeous Girls!

Never mind the wine and the song!'"; about a singer who inherits a department store, and she hires a detective to protect her from its crooked manager) starring The Marx Brothers (Groucho Marx [as Wolf J.

Artist: Al Hirschfeld Important Added Info: Note that there are several classic MGM movies that were re-released at some time between their original 1930s or 1940s first release, and their 1962 re-release (in 1962, MGM did a major re-release of many of their most classic movies). These re-releases are two-color, but they are not the 1962 re-releases, and they do not have any NSS or litho information at all, so it is impossible to date them. My best guess is that they date from the late 1940s or early 1950s (but surely from after World War II). There are also other MGM re-releases that are sepia only, and those DO have litho numbers, and those seem to date from during World War II. All three of these re-releases seem to be printed from the original plates. If anyone has more information about any of these re-releases, or this one in particular, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: poor to fair. There are MANY areas of paper loss and large tears of varying lengths around the edges and some folds. The poster is very fragile and somewhat difficult to handle. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid and please do not bid unless you can accept the defects described above, or you are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
