A 1939 Re-Release (re-titled [see below] for this re-release) Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) In Paris, A.W.O.L., the 1936 Roland Reed post-World War I (WWI) romantic love triangle military comedy ("Adapted from the A.E.F. Overseas Review - 'Comme Ca'") starring Lola Lane, Irene Ware, Lawrence Gray, Chic Chandler, George Meeker, Sam Lee, and Al Shaw. This movie has an unusual history! It was filmed in 1936 by the American Legion, and was only shown in select theaters at that time (it was apparently not very successful at all). In 1939, after Lola Lane had her breakout role in Marked Woman, and had appeared with her sisters in Four Daughters and became a major star, this movie received a full scale release as "Let's Pretend We're Sweethearts" and in 1940 as "They Went to War", and Lola Lane was prominently billed and pictured on the posters, no doubt hoping to trick people onto thinking this was a brand new Lola Lane movie. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that as noted above the poster was reissued in 1939 as "Let's Pretend We're Sweethearts" and in some cases a snipe was sent to theaters for when the movie was re-released yet again in early 1940 as "They Went to War", however, in this case, a theater owner trimmed off the ENTIRE credits section of the 1939 re-release poster here, then they glued the snipe to the poster (instead of just gluing the a snipe over the credits.) We are not sure why this was done, but the owner may have felt that gluing such a large snipe over the credits would "ruin" the poster. Condition: poor. As noted above the poster has had the entire credits section trimmed off and in its place a very large snipe was glued on to the lower edge (see our image and read our above information. Please bear in mind this very significant defect before placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
