Description

Sons of the Desert (MGM, 1933). Mini Window Card (8" X 14"). Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy cook up an elaborate scheme to get away from their wives for a few days in order to attend a lodge convention: apparently, Ollie is very ill, and his doctor (actually a veterinarian) prescribes a sea cruise, with Stan along as his caretaker. Everything goes well, until Stan and Ollie return home and learn that the ship they were supposed to be on has sunk and, worse yet, that they were prominently featured in newsreel footage about the convention, footage that their wives have seen. One of Laurel and Hardy's all-time best films, this is also the source of the oft-quoted line, "Well, here's another nice mess you've gotten me into." Offered here is an extremely rare and desirable midget window card for this classic comedy. It shows writing in the imprint area and a light crease in the top left, but is otherwise unmarked. Paper from this title rarely surfaces, making this an important occasion for collectors of this legendary team. Very Fine/Near Mint.
