Description

A Damsel In Distress (RKO, 1937). Poster (40" X 60").
Heritage has only sold this 40" X 60" format once previously, and this example is in exceptional condition. It's from Fred Astaire's first RKO musical without his longtime dance partner Ginger Rogers. In her absence, the charming nineteen year old Joan Fontaine filled in and the film turned out to be one of Astaire's finest. The movie also features George Burns and Gracie Allen in one of their best screen performances. Touchup has been applied to chips in the corners, and pinholes in the borders and one in the bottom right background. Light stains can be noted in the bottom border, but the poster still displays very well. Very Fine- on Linen.
