Sylvan Simon World War II (WWII) canine Collie dog family melodrama ("MGM's NEW Adventure in Technicolor"; "A dramatic escape from occupied France!"; "Based on some characters from the book 'Lassie Come Home' by Eric Knight"; based on the characters created by Eric Knight in his novel Lassie, but not from one of his books) starring Peter Lawford, Donald Crisp, June Lockhart, Nigel Bruce, William Severn (billed as "William 'Billy' Severn"), Leon Ames, Donald Curtis, Niles Asther, Robert Lewis, and Pal (in a dual role as both Lassie and "Laddie" [in the title role as the son of Lassie!]). Note that the Lassie TV show started in 1954 with Jan Clayton as the mother. In 1958, Lassie's family was changed, and Cloris Leachman was brought in as the new mother for one season, and then June Lockhart, who had starred in this Lassie movie 13 years before, became yet another new mother to Lassie, and she played that role until 1964, when she left to become the mother in Lost in Space!

Artist: Paul Bransom Important Added Info: From the 1920s on, studios would create elaborate trade ads, often in full color, and often using the finest artists of the day. They would run these ads in their studio yearbooks and exhibitor magazines, and they would also print those trade ads separately and mail them individually to theater owners, trying to get them to book that specific movie. Sometimes those books and magazines are separated and the ads, which now greatly resemble the individually printed trade ads, are sold individually. The trade ad offered here was removed from a magazine. It can be framed and displayed (but many trade ads have different images on each side, so one must choose which side to display if it is framed!). Condition: very good to fine.
