Date Sold 5/27/2021Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A 1948 Re-Release Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Winter Carnival, the 1939 Charles Reisner snow skiing sports melodrama ("Youth hits the high spots..with the brakes off!"; "Breathless as a ski-flight... zippy as a bobsled on a mountain run... happy as a college yell!"; "It's the hottest thing that ever hit the ice!"; "Actually photographed at Dartmouth College in the heart of the glorious White Mountains!") starring Ann Sheridan ("in the season's gayest picture!"), Richard Carlson, Helen Parrish, Robert Armstrong, Virginia Gilmore, Alan Baldwin, Marsha Hunt, James Corner, and Robert Walker. Note that there is a fascinating, yet extremely sad, piece of trivia about this movie. Originally, legendary writer F. Scott Fitzgerald was assigned to write the movie. Author Budd Schulberg, son of former Paramount studio head B.P. Schulberg, was a co-writer, and when Fitzgerald showed up, Schulberg met him and had champagne that his father had given him, and the two got massively drunk! Schulberg did not know that Fitzgerald was a recovering alcoholic, and he made such a scene that both men were fired from the movie, and they are uncredited on any movie paper. 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 is a very strange poster! In the mid-1940s, after Robert Mitchum became a major star, most of the studios pulled out any movies in which he had appeared in small roles (especially Hopalong Cassidy movies) and re-released them, given Mitchum star billing, even though he had only played bit parts. However, this poster credits Mitchum and he was never in the film (this was confirmed by actress Marsha Hunt). A knowledgeable collector points out that it is likely the poster designer meant to add Robert Walker (who only had a bit part in the film but, like Mitchum, had become famous in the 1940s) but mixed up his Roberts! Condition: good. The poster was folded somewhat oddly, resulting in fold and edge damage (especially along the lower horizontal fold which has several tape repairs on back).
