Description

Stormy Weather (20th Century Fox, 1943). One Sheet (27" X 41").
War weary moviegoers in 1943 got their money's worth and then some with this brilliant 77 minute film that features twenty musical numbers...and all by some of the brightest musical talents this country has ever produced. It was hard enough for any Black performer to be prominently featured on a one sheet for a release by a major studio, and that's just what makes this poster so amazingly special. It features five of the best; Lena Horne, Cab Calloway, Fats Waller, Katherine Dunham, and Bill "Bojangles" Robinson in a lushly drawn stone litho. Great restoration for only some pinholes in the corners, fold wear with crossfold separations, a small sliver in the top right corner, and a small chip in the left border. Put this one in the frame it deserves, have some friends over, and play the soundtrack. Fine+ on Linen.
