An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Silk-Screen One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) You Can Change the World, the 1951 Leo McCarey patriotic documentary short ("Extra added featurette"; "Here's outstanding entertainment you'll talk about... cheer!"; "Everyone should see and enjoy it!") starring Bing Crosby ("Hear Bing Sing A New Song"), Jack Benny, Bob Hope, Irene Dunne, Eddie 'Rochester' Anderson (billed as "'Rochester'"), Paul Douglas, William Holden, Loretta Young, and Ann Blyth. Note that this movie was produced by The Christophers. They are a Christian inspirational group that was founded in 1945 by Father James Keller. After World War II, the Cold War began with Russia, and that led to both an anti-Communist movement in the U.S., but also some anti-Catholic sentiments, and this group was largely founded to combat that, but mostly by presenting a purely positive view of the Catholic church, through productions such as these. This movie was the result of founder James G. Keller getting director Leo McCarey and a bunch of his former stars together where they made cameo appearances (and Bing sang a new song), but mostly they sat around listening to Father Keller delivering a speech/sermon! The poster for this movie is unusual in that it brings together many different stars who are normally not found together on a poster!

Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the restorer did a good job, but you can see signs of the restoration from inches away (since most people look at posters framed on a wall from at least a few feet away, we don't feel this is a defect, but we feel it should be noted). OR you can't see the restoration because it was so well done, but the poster had fairly significant defects. OR no restoration was performed, but the defects are not major, and restoration could be done to the poster without re-backing it. See below for its pre-restoration defects (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). Poster had many creases and tears on some foldlines, and paper loss at the crossfolds. It had minor smudges and creases, as well as some scuffs within the solid black area. The poster is pretty well linenbacked, and the restored defects are not very noticeable. Learn More about condition grades
