Auction History Result 5b213 HURDY GURDY 3sh '29 Hal Roach all-star comedy, great art of Thelma Todd & many others! Date Sold 5/12/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81") (Learn More) Hurdy Gurdy, the 1929 Hal Roach comedy short ("Hal Roach presents his All Stars in their new All Talking Comedy Whirl"; "A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Talking Picture") starring Max Davidson, Nellie V. Nichols, Edgar Kennedy, Thelma Todd, Eddie Dunn, Oscar Apfel, Ann Brody, Aileen Carlyle, May Milloy, Tony Campanaro and Gertrude Messinger. Note that the IMDb credits Leo McCarey as both the writer and director of this all-star comedy short, and we accepted this, but we have been notified by the foremost authority on Hal Roach, Dick Bann, that the IMDb is completely incorrect, and that in fact Roach DID direct the movie (and he tells us that he both talked to Roach about the movie, and that he owns photos that depict Roach directing the movie). We apologize for having passed on this IMDb error, and we learned long ago that there are many errors scattered throughout the IMDb, especially on "older" movies. We very much thank Dick Bann for giving us this chance to correct this error! Also note that this was a 20 minute short, and yet MGM produced a lavish full-color full artwork three-sheet for this short subject, quite unusual for a comedy short (but perhaps a sign of how important Hal Roach was to MGM at the time with the great success of his "Our Gang" Rascals!) 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: This three-sheet was printed in 2 sections. Condition: very good. There are some smudges, tiny tears, and tiny areas of paper loss in the borders and some faint smudges scattered through the poster. Other than the above and some minor fold wear, the poster is in pretty nice condition, especially considering it is 80 years old! Learn More about condition grades
