An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style A Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 27 1/4" [56 x 69 cm]) (Learn More) The Wagons Roll At Night, the 1941 Ray Enright romantic love triangle circus lion tamer melodrama ("For the millions who cheered 'They Drive by Night'!"; "A thousand thrills are yours when... The Wagons Roll At Night"; "Anything can happen at night! Reckless men and women... a city on wheels... and a new adventure beyond the headlights on every turn of the road!"; "Suggested by a story by Francis Wallace"; not one of Bogart's best; he is a circus lion tamer who gets involved romantically with a pretty girl, and another lion tamer loves her too, which sets the scene of men being mauled by lions!) starring Humphrey Bogart, Sylvia Sidney, Joan Leslie, Eddie Albert, Sig Ruman, Cliff Clark, and Jack Mower. Note that this movie is a remake of "Kid Galahad" with the setting changed from boxing to a traveling circus, and Humphrey Bogart appeared in both movies (albeit, in drastically different roles)! Also note that star Sylvia Sidney had been a major leading lady in the early to mid 1930s, but she had "retired" from movies for two years before returning to make this movie. Apparently, movie paper was originally printed giving Miss Sidney fourth billing, and it seems she strongly objected to that, because a studio-issued snipe was created that changed her billing to second (we have seen a one-sheet and a title card with this corrective snipe glued on them)!

We have only auctioned one in all our years of auctioning and the last time was in 2004. Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 22" x 27 1/4" [56 x 69 cm].
