An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Style C One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Test Pilot, the 1938 Victor Fleming military Army airplane aviation pilot romantic melodrama ("MGM's Greatest All-Star Thrill-Romance"; "Original Story by Frank Wead"; written by Howard Hawks; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about a devil-may-care test pilot who has a best friend who is his mechanic, and when they make an emergency landing in a corn field, the pilot sweeps the proverbial "farmer's daughter" off her feet!) starring Clark Gable ("'King' of the screen Greater than in 'San Francisco'!"), Myrna Loy ("'Queen' of the screen Greater than in 'After the Thin Man'!"), Spencer Tracy ("Academy Award Winner Greater than in 'Captains Courageous'!"), Lionel Barrymore, Samuel S. Hinds, Marjorie Main, and Virginia Grey. Note that this was one of three movies that Gable and Tracy starred in as best friends (the other two are "San Francisco" and "Boom Town"), and all three are highly enjoyable and have aged really well, and the chemistry between the two men appears to have extended beyond their onscreen time!
