An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Juke Girl, the 1942 Curtis Bernhardt Florida migrant farmer mystery crime thriller ("Sure she's easy to meet... but try and forget her!"; "She's a good girl for guys to let alone!"; "She makes her living the hard way - the 5c-a-dance way! But don't get ideas, buddy - she's a one-man woman - and that man ain't you!"; "From a story by Theodore Pratt") starring Ann Sheridan, Ronald Reagan, Richard Whorf, George Tobias, Gene Lockhart, Alan Hale Sr., Betty Brewer, Willie Best, Howard Da Silva, Willard Robertson, and Donald McBride. Note that you may not be familiar with the name Richard Whorf, who plays the third lead in this movie, but you likely saw him in some early 1940s movies (his most famous role was in Yankee Doodle Dandy as Sam Harris, George M. Cohan's partner). Whorf was a successful Broadway actor who went to Hollywood in 1941 when all the top stars went to war, and he had success during the war, but once the war was over, so was his acting career. But he successfully transitioned to being a prominent TV director, including many episodes of The Beverly Hillbillies. He also was a set designer and in his spare time studied Native American Languages (one of his brothers was a linguist)! 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 we have previously auctioned two half-sheets from this movie (one of each style), but only one example of THIS style half-sheet (and that example was only in "fair go good" condition)! Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we know it would definitely lessen its condition, so we will only send it in a very large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage). What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair to good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had darkened, typical of Warner Bros. linen posters of this period. It had some tiny creases along both folds. It had a partial vertical fold 3" to the right of the regular vertical fold. It had a scratch mark running from Sheridan's shoulder into her nose in the larger image and an "X" scratch over the faces of Reagan and Sheridan in the right image. It had pinholes around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to paperbacking. Given the defects, the person who paperbacked the poster did a pretty good job, and the restoration is not very noticeable from a normal viewing distance, but from close up, it is very noticeable, so bear this in mind before bidding on this rare poster.
