Knute Rockne, All American, the 1940 Lloyd Bacon Notre Dame college football sports biography ("'Rock'... Great coach, great American... great guy!"; "Few men lived so fully! Few pictures have captured so much! The simple things he loved! The quiet greatness of the man himself! Here is an All-American thriller for All-Americans!"; "He taught his teams the way to win... and America the way to live!"; "Based upon the private papers of Mrs. Rockne, and the reports of Rockne's intimate associates and friends"; about the famous Notre Dame coaching legend) starring Pat O'Brien (in the title role as Knute Rockne), Gale Page, Ronald Reagan (as George Gipp, the Notre Dame star who inspired the classic "Win one for the Gipper" inspirational half-time speech made after his death; for many years the only version of this movie available was one where the Reagan scenes were deleted, but they have been restored in recent years!), Donald Crisp, and Albert Bassermann

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that first release 1940 movie posters from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a half-sheet, but no other posters (only lobby cards and stills) from this movie until we received this one-sheet!

Condition: good. There is light rippling scattered in portions of the poster due to exposure to moisture. It has some spotty slight discoloration scattered in some areas as well, and there are tears, creases and bit of paper loss along the vertical foldline. There is approximately 4-5" of separation at the lower crossfold and there is some lesser separation at the upper and center crossfolds. There is some pencil writing at upper right, surface paper loss at upper left and there are some pinholes around the edges. The ultra rare poster is otherwise "all there" and after some proper restoration it will display well (but of course bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.)
