An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Three-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 36" x 78 1/2") (Learn More) The Galloping Major, the 1951 Henry Cornelius English horse racing comedy ("The star and producers of 'Passport To Pimlico' and 'Tight Little Island' do it again!"; "300 laughs in 85 minutes of galloping gayety!..."; "The galloping laugh hit!.. You'll jump for joy when you see this rollicking successor to 'Passport to Pimlico' and 'Tight Little Island'") starring Basil Radford, Jimmy Hanley, Janette Scott, A.E. Matthews, Rene Ray, Hugh Griffith, Charles Victor, Joyce Grenfell, and Julien Mitchell. Note that Janette Scott is best remembered for her starring role in "Day of the Triffids" in 1963, which was immortalized in the lyrics of the song from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" that says "And I really got hot When I saw Janette Scott fight a triffid that spits poison and kills." She divorced her first husband and married Mel Torme in 1966, which pretty much ended her career, as she quickly had two children. 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 this poster is entirely homemade, as it is not printed, but rather all of the writing on it was added to this particular poster. But this means that this poster was originally blank, and yet it was printed on regular three-sheet paper stock, and was machine folded in the regular way and has typical exchange information written on the back in black grease pencil! Does this mean that someone at the exchange made these posters one-by-one, and if not, what does it mean? I sure pity the person whose job it was to create these posters one at a time (I suppose, maybe the printing press broke down and these posters were needed in a rush!). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. This three-sheet was printed in 2 sections. The sections have been glued together, so that the poster could be displayed. After the poster was used, it was folded up, and the two pieces of the poster remain glued together. Condition: good. Learn More about condition grades
