Original one sheet poster, expertly linen-backed, for the pre-code early sound film FAST LIFE starring Loretta Young, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., William Holden and Chester Morris. Directed by John Francis Dillon. Loretta Young, arguably one of the most beautiful women to ever make a film, was a huge star beginning late 1920s until her famous TV show in the 1950s. On this poster, she appears rather prim, in a bonnet, but two young turks, Chester Morris and Doug Fairbanks, Jr. are fighting over her. The film is actually a courtroom drama with Fairbanks, Jr., getting sent to death row for ostensibly murdering another man for looking at his wife, Young. William Holden, not to be confused with the famous star William Holden, also appears in the film. Beautiful rare stone lithograph from First National Pictures.

Original 20th Century-Fox Six Sheet Poster (81×81) for the William A. Seiter comedy, THREE BLIND MICE (1938) starring Loretta Young, Joel McCrea, David Niven, Stuart Erwin, Marjorie Weaver, Pauline Moore, Binnie Barnes, and Jane Darwell. The film has a plot straight out of the Hollywood playbook, but done here with wit and some style. Three sisters move to the Land of Milk and Honey – California of course – from the flatlands of Kansas (WIZARD OF OZ?) – to find a rich husband. The spearhead in this operation is Young, beautiful as ever, and posing as a social butterfly — and she soon finds Joel McCrea, presumed to be rich but actually broke. The other two sisters pose as her “staff” and they too seek Cupid’s arrow and in surprising ways. So the theme is The Path to True Love, marriage, matrimony, golddiggers! The Motion Picture Guide summarizes the film this way: “This is a delightful comedy, well scripted and directed with a sense of fun [by William A Seiter]. The players are clearly enjoying themselves making the most they can out of the good material. The easily adaptable plot later turned up in two remakes: MOON OVER MIAMI (1941) and THREE LITTLE GIRLS IN BLUE (1946).” The six sheet poster is gorgeous, a prime example of the 20th Century Fox style of posters with nice portraits, well done, of the principal players and a colorful layout. This original six sheet poster is folded and in very fine condition. Six sheets are generally printed on four panels and no exception here. The individual panels are butted together for display. Six sheets may be linen backed. Ask us about poster mounting and conservation.

Original First National Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the George Amy and Busby Berkeley drama, SHE HAD TO SAY YES (1933) starring Loretta Young, Winnie Lightner, and Lyle Talbot. This was Berkeley’s first directorial credit (shared with the film’s editor), and he got stuck with one of the most sleazy and sexist scripts in pre-code Hollywood, in which the boss decides to use secretaries to “entertain” clients after hours. The exploitation, manipulation, and harassment of women are the focus of every scene. Every male role is a sleazy businessman who constantly tries to trick a woman into sex or into making money for him. This original one sheet poster is folded and in very fine condition, with some minor fold separations and distresses. One of the best pre-code posters we have seen. You have to say YES.

Original First National Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the depression-era, department store drama, EMPLOYEE’S ENTRANCE (1933) directed by Roy Del Ruth and starring Warren William, Loretta Young, and Wallace Ford. 12,000 workers pass through the “employee’s entrance” of New York’s Franklin Monroe & Co department store in 1933, but the firm’s financial condition is going down fast. William is an amoral, conniving, tyrannical manager, and Loretta Young (at age 20) is a new sales girl who sleeps with William in order to get her job. Ford is a rising star in the store and secretly married to Young. But even though William is a tyrant, he also struggles to avoid laying off thousands of employees in a fight to the death with the bankers. The screenplay is well written, fast paced, and witty. This was a “pre-code” film and seems quite risque for the time. This era of social frankness would not reemerge until the counter-culture of the 1960′s. This original one sheet poster is linen-backed and in fine plus condition. The colors are vivid, and there is no missing paper. There is some minimal repair to fold separations. A truly stunning “pre-code” poster.
