Description

Strike Up the Band (MGM, 1940). One Sheet (27" X 41") Style C.
The lighthearted image on this one sheet depicts Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney, a powerhouse pair that made a number of films together and became two of the highest paid stars of the 1940s. Aptly named, Strike Up the Band features Rooney starting up a swing band in his high school. The group must raise money to travel to Chicago so the band can enter a national contest, and of course, the only way they can raise money is to "put on a show." Audiences loved every minute of it, and it made Garland-Rooney movies some of the most popular of the era. The poster has pinholes in the bottom corners, fold wear, chips in the top border and top corners, and a small hole in the right border. The folds have been touched up. Fine+ on Linen.
