An Undated (probably 1941) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Navy Blue and Gold: The Love Story of Annapolis, the 1937 Sam Wood Maryland romantic love triangle military Navy U.S. Naval Academy comedy ("The Love Story of Annapolis!"; a story of three plebes at the Naval academy, and their struggles to graduate and find romance too; sort of a 1937 version of "An Officer and a Gentleman") starring James Stewart (Jimmy Stewart), Robert Young, Lionel Barrymore, Florence Rice, Billie Burke, Tom Brown, Samuel S. Hinds, Paul Kelly, and Barnett Parker. Note that in the 1920s and 1930s, you could only get into Annapolis by getting an appointment from a congressman or senator, and you needed 20/20 vision, so it was a very exclusive place to go, and also while at the academy, students could not be married, so there would often be dozens of weddings the day after graduation, because their girlfriends had become pregnant! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). the poster had tiny holes at the crossfolds. There was a 3" x 3" area of paper loss in the top right corner. It included the "IT" of "HIT" and the "T" of "ROBERT", but was otherwise blank white paper. There were tiny tears and tiny paper loss on some folds and pinholes, creases, small tears, and small paper loss around the edges of the poster (in addition to the upper right corner paper loss described above). The poster was extremely well linenbacked, and it looks great. No one would see any of the restoration unless they stared closely at the poster. Learn More about condition grades
