Original Columbia Pictures One Sheet Poster (27x41). Fine condition.
Original Columbia Pictures One Sheet Poster (27x41) for the Vernon Keays western musical comedy, ROCKIN' IN THE ROCKIES (1945). Mary Beth Hughes is shown as a cowgirl in this excuse for Columbia to assemble a bunch of musical artists with their short subject Kings The Three Stooges in a dude-ranch / western swing B-picture. The Hoosier Hotshots were radio artists in the pseudo-country music mode and Spade Cooley was an authentic western swing star. The plot is thin, involving gambling, prospecting, performing, comedy, music,ranch life. It's a rather light, inconsequential but amusing mix. But the poster evokes an era before country music had ever heard of Hank Williams. Fine condition. Some distresses, but would linen-back nicely.
