An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Style B Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More)

The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer, the 1947 Irving Reis lawyer legal romantic love triangle screwball comedy ("Date her... or go to jail!"; "When Cary rings that doorbell! Laughs will ring out from coast to coast!"; "Sentenced to make with the jive!"; "Original Story and Screenplay by Sidney Sheldon") starring Cary Grant (in the title role as Dick Nugent), Myrna Loy, Shirley Temple (in the title role as Susan Turner), Rudy Vallee, Ray Collins, Harry Davenport, Johnny Sands, Lillian Randolph, and Gregory Gaye. Note that this movie had a ridiculous contrived plot where Cary Grant is ordered by a judge, played by Myrna Loy, to go out on dates with her sister, teenager Shirley Temple. Of course, this movie could never be made today, and the original tagline "Date her... or go to jail!" would now be reversed! On the other hand, the movie has some of Cary Grant's most enjoyable slapstick comedy, and it includes the routine where he has a conversation that begins with "I know a man..."!

Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards.

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster was never folded. It had pinholes, tears, smudges, and tiny paper loss around the edges. It had a 12" tear in the lower right border extending to the second "b" of "Bobby" in the title. It had some smudges and scuffs scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
